THE COUNTRY BANKER.
His 8tanding In and Hi Qrlp Upoi.
Hi Own Community.
The first public convenience a new
commodity wants Is a bank. Ofttlrues
It comes before the church or a news
paper; but, as a rule. It follows both.
It Is bard to beat the editor and the
preacher.
If the Influence exercised by the
bankers of our great cities constitutes
a menace to the public welfare, what
shall we say of the grip that the little
bank holds on Its commuDltyT The bo
called "country banker" to succeed
must be eminent for all the qualities
that make up a truly good man. Usir
ally be Is a church member and often
a Sunday school teacher. He is con
sulted by politicians regarding the local
government, and the candidate who
bas his approbation is envied, for be Is
usually the winner. To the country
banker are confided the troubles, do
mestic as well as financial, of all who
have access to him. And everybody
seeks to have access.
The banker Is first to subscribe to
every good cause. He Is the com
munity's adviser as to investments and
tha arbitrator of its business contro
versies. His word is as good as bis Electricity Magazine, we have
bond, and to bis credit it must ds
added that, with rare exceptions, it
deserves to be. He asks few favors,
and these are always granted. He is
the center of the social life of his vi
cinity. His voice Is that of authority.
He is loved, respected, admired and
tnnrA fPha tinnlrof Id II mfltl tit in
tegrity. The slightest cloud on him or amounts to $1.00 or more be
on bis bank will settle them botb. In
this matter be stands wltb the preach
er. Bo, from selfish considerations, If
from no other, the banker must be de
serving of the trust reposed In bim
by bis fellow citizens.
Who wouldn't be the country bank
