FINANCI. -\L INSTITUTIONS. The wealth of Philadelphia is proverbial throughout the Republic. Eighty-six banks, trust companies, and saving fund societies operating within the city limits show a capital of $56, 000, 000, surplus and undivided profits of $79, 000, 000, and deposits of $494, 000, 000, while yearly bank clearings approximate $6, 000, 000, 000. Unlike some American communi- ties, wealth is widely diffused, and the masses are noted for their thrift. This general thrift is witnessed b...y the circumstance that $120, 000, 000 or one-quarter of the total deposits now held by local financial institutions are deposited in saving fund societies and saving fund branches of trust companies. PHILADELPHIA S3 Philadelphia banking interests have stood the searching test of time, for the city has not attained her present prominence by any sudden or unnatural growth. Philadelphia was early in her history a financial center ; her banking interests largely financed the American Revolution. In 1780 the Pennsylvania Bank was organized by Robert Morris, quickly turn- ing its energies into the work of providing supplies for the army.
