The enterprise met with a cordial welcome, and received the confidence and support of those whose interests and well-being it'was designed to further. Under wise direction and good judgment on the part of the Management, it gathered strength, developed efficiency, and by courteous service and the payment of generous rates of interest attained a firm place in the good-will Of thousands of citizens. Careful investigation and studied discrimination in all its investments enabled the Trustees to pay exceptionally high rates of uteres and earn profits of a substantial character. These latter have constituted a source from which many Charitable Organisations and Educational Institutions receive substantial help from time tb time. During the past 48 years no less than £32,300 has been granted towards the support of such worthy works as those indicated. In recent years the progress of the Bank has been remarkable and its success almost phenomenal. At the end of last financial year (August, 1927) the amount lying to the credit of nearly 18,000 depositors—at the Head Office and the South Dunedin and North-east Valley Branohes-amounted to £1,404,159. The great and rapid increase in the number of citizens who deposit their savings at the Chief Office compelled the Trustees to look around for more extensive premises, which would be at once central, commodious, and convenient. These requirements were realised in, and steps taken to purchase the three-story building in Dowling Street known as “Zealandia Chambers,” a few doors below Princes Street. -For months past workmen have been engaged in constructing on the ground floor a splendid Banking Chamber, specially designed to afford the greatest possible convenience to Depositors, and the utmost facilities for the Staff in the quick and efficient handling of accounts. ■ Fitted out in artistic though not extravagant style, and equipped with rooms for Manager and Staff, Waiting Boom, and Strong Boom, the new Bank is up to date iu every feature—more than ever worthy of the distinction accorded to it in the popular title of THE CITIZENS’ BANK.” ■THE DUNEDIN SAVINGS BANK DOWLING STREET.
