Patriotism and Business
Every good citizen at this time should do his
share toward strengthening the Federal Reserve
Banking System which our Government has
created with its billionjdollars of resources to
stand back of its member banks and all their
depositors.
You can contribute directly to the strength
of this system, and at the same time secure its
protection by depositing your money with us,
since part of every dollar you. deposit with us
goes directly into the new system; where it is
always ready for you when

warned.
This is a suggestion for
prompt action.
