A
Men and Money
Make this Bank Secure
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQ,
THERE are two ways of measuring"
the strength and standing 1 of a bank.
In the first place money resources—
capital and surplus—give it financial
strength.
In the second place—and perhaps
even more important—are men. the
officers and directors. They give the
bank character, determine and exe
cute its policies.
This is a strong bank, a helpful bank
because it has ample resources, and
a personnel of proven character and
ability.
