Passing encomiums, only over
your store counter, about the
quality of what you’ve got to
sell, results in about as much
satisfaction as your wife would
get if you gave her a box of
cigars for Christmas.

Grover State Bank
Grover, Colo.
A couple of farmers near here (we'd get killed if we
told their names) went to the city last summer to do a lit
tle shopping. One of them, whom we will call Si, took
plenty of money with him. The other whom we will call
Bill, took none. Instead he took one of our check books.
This amused Si. “No check book for me. Bill.'’ Sez
he, “Give me the cold cash every time.” “But aren’t yon
afraid you’ll lose it?” asked Bill. The answer was a
knowing “huh!” Well, they made their purchases, but
when they went to pay, they found that a pickpocket
had robbed them both. Si was in a terrible fix. This
amused Bill. The outcome was that Bill took out his
check book and wrote checks for both their purchases,
whereupon Si vowed that hereafter he’d keep his money
out of reach of pickpockets.
We cordially invite accounts subject to check in any
amount from one dollar up. Banking hours from 9:00 a. m.
to 3:00 p. m.
