and accommodation 'are the watch
words of this bank.
; It is surprising how many applica
tions we have for loans . from people
who: do their, banking business "else
where. We use our best efforts to
take care of- these applications, after
our own customers are accommodat
ed. A bank always looks after its
customers first. As a basis of credit
your bank account is a good barom
eter. Open an . account with this
strong Polk County Bank and when
you need help we will' be in a better
position to serve you. You will find
in this bank a cooperative spirit
never any act to antagonise, ;.
A number of banks , are making a
service charge to customers, whose
average balance is below a sum that
he bank ,loses money in' handling the
account. As a cold-blooded business
proposition these banks are justified
in doing this forv many accounts will
not pay for the time required to han
dle their checks nor ' for the station
ery used. This bank does not make
any kind of- charge for the small cus
tomer. We prefer to handle these
small accounts at an apparent loss in
order to encourage ? every , person,
however small his balance is, to open
an account and transact his business
through, a bank.. We render the same
efficient service to the little customer
as to the big one and we welcome the
little account as well as the large one
We have it figured out that most of
the small acocunts today ; will be
large , ones some day. Open an ac
count with this growing bank and
grow with us. ! V
f A man of Hebrew extraction was
asked: ".What is the greatest inven
tion in the world ? The Jews quick
reply was: Interest." , Ask any bank
er whAt the 'source""-of -his greatest
trouble in banking and he-will imme
diately; reply Overdrafts, r A banker
figures only two causes for a custo
mer to overdraw or attempt : to over
draw his account viz : Careless busi
ness methods or ah attempt to 'work'
the bank. ; In the first instance a bus
iness man can not afford to have the
reputation of beitfg. careless;- The
second is very poor practice" and inev
itably leads to business disaster to
one who persists in such methods,
for a customer to attempt to over
draw his account puts a bank officer
in a very embarrassing place, , He
would like to honor the check but
many times he is compelled to refuse
payment then the check is protested
which makes costs and the drawer
suffers the humiliation of being call
ed upon to make good the check.
Overdrafts are now reported to the
State Banking Department arid offi
cials are held strictly accountable.
Don't trjr to overdraw your account
be absolutely on the safe side. . If
you are in 'heed of funds temporarily
'see your banker. You can always do
better than try to overdraw. .

A CREDITABLE SHOWING,
We are in receipt of a table af Te

based on the 1916 census, and show
; ing for the State of North Carolina in
general is gratifying, : more especially
for Polk county. Forty-two per cent
of the population of Polk county are
church members. In commenting on
the same subject the University of
North Carolina News setter says:
"Putting side by side the figures of
these two tables, it appears U) that
48 counties made decided gains ;in
church membership during the ten
years, that the gains in Richmond,

year period Northampton, Lincoln,
Catawba, Jackson and Wilson; (4)
that Bertie which headed the list in
church membership in 1906 retained
its lead in 1916 with a gain of one

the list in 1900 was still'at the bottom
in 1916, with a gain of five points,-23
against 18 per cent, and (5) -that'-the
state as a whole moved up ve points
during the ten-year period from 40
to 45 per cent. " ,
With a tremendous gain in ' chuch
membership! with an increased de
mand for more and better schools and
longer terms; with the -farmers of the
county asking for information as vto,
how to better their conditions; with
the business and professional men' of
