" This bank was foundp xit?t, t, primary idea of rendering a real ser vice to the People of Polk County. There has never been a time when we have broken faith with that.- That the efforts of this bank are ap preciated can be accurately judged by the number of custom and the constantly increasing ousi p:We issue Certificates of Deposit for Coupon Liberty Bonds of any issue, at their fac valnQ o-j .., at. j. 7 r -'" to me rare of interest the bond calls for, when it uuC. wu Im leave Donds in inse cure nlapps.

Open a savings account in this strong bank and add to it as. you can and as : much as you can for a dollar a year from rfow is going to be worth more than it is to day.. Take the hint and "open "that savings account don't put it off. A dollar willStart you; :, .j . A Certificate of Deposit In this bank is a fine investment. We will pay 4 per. cent interest from the day deposited and pay it every three months. If you have idle funds put them to work now. A checking account in this popular bank , identifies one with the best in the county. Open a checking account here so that we may know you when the time comes when you want to bor row. We are now in a position to take care of all our customers regard less of their requirements.' A good customer of ours walks into the bank late one afternoon and said, "I am obliged to have $2,500.00." He got it. A short time ago an application for that sum would have sent us scurrying to the 1'tall timber". Our facilities for taking care of our cus tomers can not be surpassed. An ex-president of the U. S. said that he could not understand why ev ery person in the country was not a member of his church or .words to about our bank, but like- the noted aboit our bank, but like the nonted advertisement we can say: Eventual ly, why not now 1 , A gentlman opening an account to day was given a check book. He said "Never mind, I don't need it as ev erywhere I go they have your checks." . Rather, subtle but we got it. Thanks. . A strong box in our solid concrete steeL door vault, is just the place to put the marriage license, keepsakes, valuable papers, etc. We rent them for $2.00 per year. Each box has two keys and no one can get in without the keys. If the keys are lost; notify us "and we can protect you against loss.

Nothing is so beneficial to a town is the encouragement of, civic pride very citizen of Tryon has a right to eel proud of the town. It's your town so roll up your sleeves and "all together" in this movement to make 1 beautitul and better lryon. MEASURING A MAN'S SUCCESS. During a conversation with Hon. T. Ballensrer a few davs aeo," he "drop- tied the following oeautiful thought: I have learned that the measure or I man's success is not the amount of noney that he mayjhave accumuiated curing his stay on earth; but the man ho has raised a lannly of children to fciaturity and who have made good tmzens, is the successful man after ill." - ' We heartily endorse every word , of his, and this fact has been clearlv ismoristrated during the past - few rears in our National life. Boys have, isen from obscure stations in life to lue topmost round, and after investi pation it has been ascertained that they had the proper training at home; Money does not make the man, and the man with the most money . has ceased to be the man of most influ nice in the communit--- As Mr. Bal lengcr says, -"the measure of a man's success is not the amount of. -money p may nave accumulated. - At a master Rakers' rneetinor in Xey York, vecentlv a soldier, in nass- mediately notified his companions mediately nontified his companions vith the result that soon such a mob n soldiers gathered around the gar- u! n w'jiej-e the meeting was taking Piace, that the police had to be ap Pead to for protection.

Investigations show that shrewd speculators are active in try ing to induce people to part with their government securities. Many of them are offering to take Liberty bonds in exchange lor other so-called "securi ty" which promises a higher rate of interest than Liberty Bonds. It is pointed out by treasury offi cials that Liberty Bonds are worth every" dollar paid for them. One evi dence of their value is the eagerness of the speculator to get possession of them. He knows what they are worth. The Liberty Bond owner does not know the value of the "stock" or "bond" he is offered In exchange for his government security. Liberty bonds have back" of them the entire resources of the United States which makes them worth their face value. The person who ex changes them for some other kind of paper risks losing the money invest ed in his .bond as well as the- inter- Other people are selling their bonds because they feel that "the war;s over" and they are no longer obligat ed to hold them. Although fighting has ceased, the war will not be over until the peace treaty . is signed and our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond is a: certificate of service .and the person who sells it at a , sacrifice, except in cases of extreme necessity, is . f aing : to "carry on; He: is re flecting on his own patriotism and "urreiMermg atfl investment that never, frill fail to pay returns.: ,It is recognized that; there are times when'. investors are compelled to seek relief from financial distress.
