MAKE YOUR MONEY
WORK FOR YOU
The reason some people seem so prosperous under all
conditions is often because they have money at work for
them. They have saved a reasonable portion of their
earnings and placed it in the bank on interest. They are
then assured of a certain definite income every year.
You have to work for your money. , Then make your
money work for you. Two dollars per week placed in a
savings account every year for ten years will amount
with interest to over $1,300*00. Can you not save two
dollars per week?
We pay 4 per cent interest and compound the interest
quarterly. We would be pleased to have you open an
account with us.

The depositor has a right to expect his bank to return

Is he justified in that belief? He CERTAINLY IS. |
That's the one big aim of our Bank—to safeguard the
funds entrusted to our care. We are ready at all times
to pay our depositors in full, to justify the confidence re
posed in this old, reliable Bank, and at the same time
give our patrons the benefit of our modern banking
