POSTAL  SAVINGS

In  general  it  is  in  the  Southern  States  that  the
per  capita  deposits  are  smallest,  and  in  the  mining ­
  and  lumbering  States  of  the  West  and  the
manufacturing  States  of  the  East  that  they  are
largest.  The  population  of  the  Dakotas  makes
scant  use  of  postal  savings  banks.

Distribution  of  Deposits  by  Cities.
Passing  from  the  distribution  of  deposits  by
States  to  that  by  cities  and  towns,  we  find  figures
published  by  the  Third  Assistant  Postmaster-General
  for  the  places  having  deposits  of  over

13 The  populations  used  in  compiling  these  per  capita
figures  were  in  each  case  those  for  the  latest  date  for  which
official  estimates  were  available,  and  this  means  for  all  the
cities  except  Leadville,  Col.,  and  Ironwood,  Mich.,  the
populations  as  of  June  30,  1914;  for  the  latter  two  cities
the  figures  are  for  the  census  year  1910.
