Best Way For Farmers To Borrow Money!!!
For several months Mr. Aycock, Cashier
of The First National Bank has been carefully
studying the question of Rural Credit, and
has installed in our bank a Rural Credit Sys
tem that wil! be helpful to the farmers of this
community.
The system could as well be called a
"Better Acquainted" System. There are a
large number of farmers that do business
with us at present and we are very well ac
quainted with a good many of them. Our
new system applies to those that already do
business with us and those that do not. We
wish to become better acquainted with those
that do business with us now and make ac
quaintance with those that do not.
We invite you to call at our bank and go
into the matter fully with us. We believe
that it will be beneficial to you.
