"THE G. I. Bill of Rights" assures certain benefits, pro
tections and privileges to the man and woman in the armed

MANY of the rules and regulations which govern the
rights and opportunities of returning veterans have not yet
been completely determined. But the bill is of such vital im
portance to members of the armed services . . . and their
families . . . that this bank is carefully following the issuance
of these rules and regulations. As soon as they are available
in a complete form, we will be glad to notify those who desire
this information.
Loans Now Available
In the meantime, we are already in position to take ap
plications for loans for the purchase, construction or improve
, ment of residences and will welcome specific applications.
; Those veterans who are interested in farm or business loans
1 are invited to leave their names with us and we will get in
touch with them just as soon as such loans are available.
THE BANK not only welcomes specific applications for
O. I. Loans but the officers of the tank will be thoroughly
familiar with the opportunities which the Bill of Rights may
offer, and they will be ready and eager to help returning vet
erans re-establish themselves in private life, whenever and as
soon as they are released from the armed services.
ALL VBTTERANS and families of service men are cordially
invited to use this bank as headquarters to help them attain
the maximum benefits available to them under the O. I. Bill
of Rights.
