The year just loosed was by far the most successful in the liirtory* of our Institution, both in Deposits
and Earnings; our total assets having reached almost One-Quarter Million Dollars. Our deposits show
that we have $11.61 for each dollar of Capital Stock. This is by far the largest porportion of any Bank in
this section and shows how great the confidence the business public has in our Institution. We hope to
continue to receive the same liberal patronage from our friends and stand ready and willing at all times
to help any legitimate Enterprise consistent with SAFE and CONSERVATIVE BANKING
