community—privileges long their due—and
the people have shown their appreciation
therefor by the large and increasing patron-
age given this institution.

the semi-annual examination of the bank, in
all its details, are men of twenty years'
acquaintance in this community.
It is to the interest of every farmer to
open an account with the FARMERS' STATE
BANK. In addition to the safety afforded
by the conservative management of the bank;
the depositors are further protected by the
State Guaranty Fund, and rigid regulation of
the State Banking law.

iness, and engaging^ in no speculative
side lines, combination** or pools.
Our Deposit Account registers the con-
fidence of the community. It is not bolstered
by any outside money, public, banks or other-
wise.

satisfaction as in the past, and will render
