Ferebee of The J ( citizens rsanK &, 1 rust company an- \ lounced today that his bank is in- 1 lugurating in this newspaper a *er- ' ps of forthcoming advertisements on : Questons That Are Asked about tanking," together with brief an- ? wers. i The purpose of this series, Mr. i tarebee stated, is to give the readers t f The Cherokee Scout further in- v ormation about banking services nd the fundamental principles and ' ractices that are essential to sound i anking. Mr. Ferebee believer that '< , better understanding of these bank- i tig matters will enable his bank to ender a better financial service to t ts customers and to the community 1 s a whole. 1 "A bank is primarily a community t nterprise" Mr. Ferebee pointed out. 1 Unlike the merchant who buys his < tock of goods from a few sources, s he bank obtains its stock of goods? i loney?from many depositors. In < urn this money?which beloners to I epositors?is loaned to other people. 5 "Good management and good ser- i ice are essential to a well-managed t ank but it cannot operate successully without the confidence and sup- < tort of its depositors ? and confi- < lenee and support of its depositors? t nd confidence is based on under- i tanding. i "Banking is a business of human i elation ships and while we deal in noney and credit we serve people. : Consequently public understanding 1 f the particular aims and problems 1 i a bank are just as essential to t oundncss as are good loans and good avcstments." 1 There has been a nation* idc i?.:u*ovement in the attitude of Lhe pu" ic towards banking during the past ear, Mr. Ferebee declared. In his pinion this has been due, in part, to i better public understanding of , tanking problems and services. Mr. I J 'erebee believes that helpful, accur-1 , te information develops understandng which is the basis of confidence. J ro further this improvement in pubic understanding and confidence, the Citizens Bank has planned its new ( erea of advertisements on questions ind answers about banking.

Thursday, March BETTER SPRING ill BUSINESS SEEN BY FIRMS HERE Vlurphy Stores Preparing g For Heaviest Sales In Years ! With the advent of warm weather 1 sere during the past sevral weeks, l ill the Murphy merchants are prepar- < ins: for the largest volume of spring sales ever known here. Looking forward to WPA and TV A payrolls local dealers have been re- i arranging their stocks of goods to meet the huge public demand that is expected during the next several months. Several Murphy stores are being renovated and enlarged while others are ordering the latest spring styles designed to catch the eye of ihe buying public and bring more trade into Murphy. A number of new stores have been opened in Murphy since last spring ~ in view of the increased business ex pected Fere. Some of the older merchants are looking forward to the heaviest trad ng in years as a result of increased prices and the TVA's interest in this ? section. tc With better equipped stores here ind an evident increase in purchasng power, it is believed that local nerchant will draw much of the rade this spring that has been going >ut of town. The theme of the merchants is 'better goods at lower prices", and a* n most instances better values, with i guarantee backing them, can be al found no where else. Many of the secondary roads in ^ he county that were torn up by cc leavy winter snowfalls antl freezes si*, lave dried up considerably during he warm weather and it is hoped to th tave them in fine condition into tr very community in Cherokee and kc unrounding counties in order to liake Murphy accessable to all resi- o\ tents in this trade territory. Hundreds of people were in town Saturday and the most active trade , or one day in years was realized by ' he merchants of all classes. Crop planting L-? being witnessed th an a larger scale and farm incomes op ire predicted as probably being bet- cc ;er this year. TV A workmen are mov- ; lo ng in steadily and merchants are J T1 mproving their stocks to meet the pi ticreased demand in buying. Wholesale salesmen report doing in i bigger business here than ever be- T? 'ore, even though Murphy has always >een considered one of their busiest g owns. V1RS.
