THRIFTY AUSTRALIANS
SAVINGS BANK RECORD NO EQUAL IN WORLD By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 11 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. Sir Alfred Meeks, a prominent business man, on his return from England, said business men with whom he had conversed in London expressed surprise that Australia did not make better known the fact that her savings banks deposits showed a greater prosperity than any other country. The deposits aggregated about £200,000,000 in about 4,000,000 accounts. That was a record, he said, which no nation in the world could equal. Dealing with Empire trade, Sir Alfred Meeks said he had observed that there was a better feeling developing in regard to it throughout the British Isles. He noticed people were becoming more prone to buy British goods.—A. and N.Z.
