a void that we shall be unable to
fill.
We extend in the name of the

In all the cities where Banks have reopened,
deposits have been greater than withdrawals
by a wide margin. Bank officials, in many in
stances, have been astonished at the great
amount of money that has been brought in by
the people to be deposited in the Banks to their
credit.
Everybody is looking to the future with great
optimism. A new era is in the maldi^—the
people are going to have a New Deal.
Where Banks have reopened Newspapers re
port a much larger volume of Advertising.
Trading has been better than usual. The
Markets are on the upward grade.
Mr. Local Merchant, get on the band wagon,
and boost your sales with Advertising in this
Newspaper.
