Don't lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who see naught but disaster ahead— During a previous depression, the government had to is sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten. Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the laws of business cycles. Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for “depression.” Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence. America will see this through and emerge victorious. Better times are coming! We pay 4 per cent interest compounded semi annually on all savings accounts. Bank of Seward rravelers* Checks
