Why a National
Bank Is Safe.
The U. S. Government is, in a sense,
a silent partner in the conduct of every
National Bank.
In granting a charter to a bank, it
makes special inquiry as to the charac
ter and financial standing of the appli
cants. Twice a year, or oftener, it sends an
examiner, who makes an examination
of all records and business methods em
ployed, reporting any irregularities to
the Comptroller of Currency.
-THE-
First National Bank
gives you a cordial invitation to deposit
your funds in this Bank.
We solicit your account on the basis
of sound banking.
