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 tor 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.
It 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 \ciy
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 yourself, gradually
building up the most valuable asset a man can have,
namely: a GOOD CREDIT at home, and through our
recommendation this credit will be EXTENDED to
others away from home, with whom you might seek
for accommodations.
l{y having an account with the Hank, the Hank KNOn S
YOU and when you have a check or draft on an out
of-town bank to cash, it will be readily done for you,
and also (on account of being a customer), tree oi
any charge.
If you should travel or move away from this community,
you can obtain from us a favorable introduction, and
then carry your good credit WITH TOU, where\er
you may go.
'Some day you might need to BORROW: the customer
receives not only the accommodation, but the pie
ference of rates and amount, while the non-customer
may in time of stringency, meet with retusal.
Now look at the subject from as many sides and as long a:* \ou
will, the opening of a Bank Account is desirable and advantageous
and we tender you our services and lacililies.
