The Bank Gf Stokes County Making
Rapid Gains —A Great Convenience
To Our People.
It is gratifying to learn that the
Bank of Stokes County, with of.
tiers at Danbury and Walnut Covo,
is starting out with a good busi-j
ness. A bank must of necessity j
be slow in its growth, because it
must first win the confidence and
good wiil of the people whoso
support it expects, nnd this takes
time. Though the new Bank of
Stokes has Iwen running less than
a month, its deposits are nearly
#IO.OOO, and new customers among
the merchants, business men and
farmers are being added every day.
The Bank of Stokes County is
a conservative and safe institution.
11 is backed by men who are well
known and experienced in finan
cial circles. They have spent
a good deal of money in giving
our people banking facilities up
to-date, and the people are show
ing their appreciation by their
patronage.
