Tbe town of Fair- mont is proud of its Bank and every encouragement is given to it by the people. The officers and directors are citizens, and have been, most of them, tor life, of the town of Fairmont, and are honored, trusted and re spected by all the people. The Bank of Fairmont has been one of the greatest factors in making Fairmont the hustling town that she s. During its few years of existence it has made 2284 loans amounting to $1,007, 782.95. It has financed' the building of a great many of the brick stores in town, whiie num bers of homes have been built through the help of this good Bank, and it has always helped the poor and needy a. we 1 as the prosperous. It has never had any pets or shown any pre ference in making loans: fur nishing the money just as readi ly to build the annex to Alhe s humble cottage, as to i he Truttjes ui the Bap-1 iv. 4 luyu. urourieiur iu It CI ...4 . ot the hrm of P.

The Bank of Fairmont is here to stay. While it is living in a leased home at present, it owns the Thompson corner, the finest location in Fairmont for a bank and on which it will build a hand some home some of these davs. We therefore lookuptn it as our bank, and cheerfully and gladly recommend to you the Bank of Fairmont as. a safe place to de posit your money and a place where you will receive prompt and courteous attention ct all timts. F. L. BLUE, Cashier Mr. F. L. Blue Cashier of the bank of Fairmont since his advent in to the business and economic life of the town in 1904 has been vitally connected with every phase of the town develop ment and progress. It was through his untiring efforts dur ing his time as mayor that the name of Ashpole was discarded and the name Fairmont substi tuted an event that was epochal in its character. He is the car dinal factor in the active man agemenc of the bank and the banks success is his unstinted endorsement as a business man. He was born in 71 st township, Cumberland Co., North Caro lina,(now Hoke Co.) on the 18th day of February, 1875. Being the second "oldest child in a family of eleven boys and two girls, he educated - himself in Lumber Bridge School I 1- . ii mercnani use nnn natn o r specially complete line of -shoes nioit who have d toward its ilevelnnmpnt and thf growth of his store reflects thJ high esteem in which he is held 5 Fo- a n.iraber of years Mi I Floyd lias been town clerk and and has filled the position well!
