To Our Patrons
Alexandria, Va., June 2, 1910.
In line with our progressive banking methods, and to meet tho de
mands of our patrons, we are installing on July 1st, an up-to-date Safe
Deposit Department, under the personal supervision of one of our
officers.
This has been made necessary from the fact that a large number
of our depositors owning Liberty Bonds and other securities desire a
safe place for their keeping.
It is our plan to enlarge the number of Safe Deposit Boxes, and
make a rental charge to meet the operating expenses of this Depart
ment. This charge will become effective July 1st. 1919, and a bill will
be sent out at that time to the holders of boxes, and if any desire
to make any change we will be glad to have them call before tho
bills are rendered for the ensuing year.
