Postal savings banks proposed by Louis Post
Louis Post of Chicago, an expert in industrial and financial questions, advocates a plan combining postal savings deposits with interest bearing money orders. He argues that post offices would accept deposits from one cent to large sums and issue payable money orders, with 1 percent interest every four months, exchangeable for government currency on demand. This elastic currency aims to protect savers, reduce reliance on banks and money sharks, and provide a secure, feasible monetary system.
