For a liberal patronage we are truly thankful, and in extending the best of New Year Wishes we cordially solicit a continuation of your valued business. W. L. Woodall & Sons Smithfield, N. C. Efficiency? Our New Year Resolution We are taking advantage of the Legal Holiday today to install in our Bank the Burroughs Bookkeeping Machine ? This means Better Service to You We don't want you to think of The First National Bank just as a place to deposit your money, although of course we are glad to have you keep as large a balance with us as is possible. It is our desire to render our patrons every service and accommodation that can reasonably be expected of us. The Burroughs Bookkeeping Machine, which we have just added to our equipment, makes it possible for us to give you better service than ever before in the handling of your account. By the machine method, your account is kept in balance all the time. If, as sometimes happens, you want a statement of your balance in a hurry, we can give it to you, including today's checks and deposits, in less than five minutes. A neatly printed statement made out on the Burroughs goes to each depositor every month. The statement shows all checks and deposits and gives the balance of your account to date, taking the place of the tedious and unsatisfactory plan of calling in and balancing pass books. The mnchine affords absolute protection against errors in figure handling. It can't make a mistake. You can always be sure that your machine-figured balance is correct. The increased speed, accuracy and protection of this me chanical bookkeeping system added to our thorough knowl edge of good, consistent banking and business methods, make it possible for us to offer you an improved service that is equal to that furnished by the country's most progressive banks.
