Your money is SAFER in the Bank than anywhere else.
A bank account teaches, helps and encourages you to
SAVE, so as to INCREASE your balance.
Paying bills by CHECK is the simplest and most conveni
ent method, as well as the safest, as your check be
comes a receipt for the debt it pays.
A check book is much more convenient to carry than a
wallet filled with legal tender or loose change, and if
your check book is lost, the Bank will furnish you
another free of charge; when you loose your wallet,
the story is different.
II gives you a better standing in the community, especially
among the business men, to pay by check, rather than
in cash; to be known as “having money in the Bank"
strengthens one’s credit.
Your returned, cancelled checks, with properly kept stubs
and pass book furnished by the Bank, make a very
complete and clear record of business transacted, and
is kept with less work than any other record could be.
By having a Bank account and issuing.checks and making
deposits, you are, unaware to yoursclt, gradually
building up the most valuable asset a man can ha>e,
namely: a GOOD CREDIT at home, and through our
recommendation this credit will be EXTENDED to
others away from home, with whom jou might seek
for accommodations.
By having an account with the Bank, the Bank KNOW S
YOU, and when you have a check or draft on an out
of-town bank to cash, it will be readily done lor you,
and also (on account of being a customer), free of
any charge.
If you should travel or move away from this community,
vou can obtain from us a favorable introduction, and
then carry your good credit W ITH YOU, wherever
you may go.
Some day you might need to BORROW': the customer
receives not only the accommodation, but the pre
ference of rates and amount, while the non-customer
may in time of stringency, meet with refusal.
Now look at the subject from as many sides and as long as you
will, the opening of a Bank Account is desirable and advantageous
and we tender vou our services and facilities.
