THE REASON WHY
many people never havo their share of this world's
good things is because they fail to cooperate with their
own interests, many of them without thinking to be
suie, but never-tbe-less to their own injury.
For Instance! '()U ll,e not Patronizing your home

You surely know that a good safe bank in your
community substantially enhances the value of your
land. It helps you get a bet ter sale for your cattle and
produce by keeping constantly on the alert to bring buy
er and seller together to the.best advantage It is not
, altogether through selfish motivesthat your homG bank
solicits your cooperation, but the interests are mutual.
We need your patronage and cooperation to increase our
strength and ability. You need your home hank at it's
best strength and ability, for it speaks well for your
community, enhances the value of all your property,
- finances your business in a pinch and keeps the wolf
from the door." We need you. You need us. Let's co
operate, we will meet you half way.
