sistance. Some of the largest sales p«

A Useful Bank
Too many people still look upon a
bank as merely "a place to put money for
safe keeping." A good bank like this
oke performs a much more important
function. It brings together small amounts
of capital so they may be employed in
profitable enterprises.
Hoarded capital is a menace. Depos
ited with us, it works for the owner and
plays an important part in the prosperity
of the community.
We give earnest service in exchange for business. Have
a talk with us about your business or financial problems.
