# INDUSTRIES SLOW IN GIVING INFORMATION
## Distrust of Printed Questionnaires, Retarding Work of Industrial Census.
Lack of co-operation on the part of industrial firms and corporations in Montana is greatly hampering the industrial census of Montana, which is now being taken in this state, according to Allen E. Drake, who is supervising the work in this state.
"The census, which includes statistics covering manufacturing, quarrying and mining industries of the state, would progress much more rapidly were it not for the distrust with which the general public and particularly the taxpayers regards the printed questionnaires used in gathering necessary data," Mr. Drake stated. "No information that could in any way react unfavorably upon the furnishing firm is sought through the census bureau's agents, but nevertheless the fact that this data must appear upon printed sheets creates an atmosphere of confusion which is retarding the work to a large extent," he said.
Supervising Drake's officers are in the Butte Federal building.

## *A Natural Question When a New Banking Connection Is Under Consideration*
*A good bank is one which combines strength and service in a high degree, and that is what the Silver Bow National Bank does. Modern equipment, experienced officers and employes and a handsome building for constructive banking service.*
*Do you realize that a good banking connection, with all that it implies, may mean the difference between success and failure in your business.

*This bank has helped a large number of business men, both in times of prosperity and in periods of storm and stress. We offer a bank large enough to inspire the confidence of our clients, but not too large to give every consideration to the interests of each customer.*
