It is through the friendship and confidence of
our patrons that we have been able to open our doors,
and we deeply appreciate the confidence bestowed upon
us and the tireless efforts made by our friends to help
us get everything in shape to re-open according to the
, j banking laws of the Statev—
„ ,—*3
We arie under the supervision of the Corporation
Commission of the State and our bank is as safe a place ,
as can be found to deposit your money. We will be glad to
acquaint you with the plans under which we are operat
ing, and ask you to cooperate with us that we may work
out the affairs to the best interest of all concerned.
The confidence expressed in the bank since its
re-opening on the 9th of this month has been shown by
substantial deposits, for which we are very grateful.
