THE GOOD WORK OF THE BANK “3 ’Tis little by little the bee fills her cell; And little by little a man sinks a well; "Tis little by little a bird builds her nest; By littles a forest in verdure is drest. Tis little by little great volumes are made; By littles a mountain or levels are made; "Tis little by little an ocean is filled; And little by little a city we build. "Tis little by little an ant gets her store; Every little we add to a little makes more; Step by step we walk miles, and we sew stitch by stitch; Word by word we read books, cent by cent we grow rich. On the pass book used in New York City was printed in English, French, and German this legend: “The Government of the United States has made this bank perfectly safe.’ _ Pamphlet material concerning the bank was Issued in large quantities and circulated among the Negroes. There were reports in popular form giving information about the number and loca- tion of the branches, the number of depositors and the amounts of deposits, and the rules regu- lating the business. And once or twice a year booklets were published for distribution which contained good advice in regard to thrift, asser- tions that the bank had the approval of President Lincoln, and that it was “based solely on the faith and credit of the United States,” tables of gains, poems on thrift, suggestions to teachers on how to teach children to save and on how to Save money by abstaining from whiskey and 5 The later editions of the pass book omitted most of this material, With similar matter it was then printed in the pamphlets which were distributed. ® Committee on Banking and Currency, Hearings 1910; Ho.
