Every Saving Depositor
is Interested
in the new Federal Reserve Banking System,
established by the United States Government,
of which we are a member, because it makes
the banking business of the country safer and
sounder than ever before.
But even more because it makes practically
impossible another of those currency panics
which in the past have caused business depres-
sions, shut-downs and lack of employment.
Part of every dollar you deposit in this bank
oooooooooooocooooo g0es directly into this new
§ federal reserve g system, makes it stronger
system g and adds to the security of
u00000000000000000 your money so deposited. ^

Absolute safety usually means an invest-
ment with very low returns; not always,
though.
Our certificates of deposit give absolute
safety and pay four per cent interest.
The safety of course comes from the State
Guarantee Law. You can't loose; more-
over, you can get your money when you
want it.
Why not invest in one of our certificates
of deposit today.
