The First Strong Step Forward
In the financial progress of molt men consists in opening a check-
ing account in a bank where the policy is one of helpfulness to the in-
dividual—a bank of such ample resources that the mere fact of his hav-
ing an account there is equal to a credit and recommendation.
This bank makes the interest of its customers its own and does
everything that it can consistently do to further their financial progress.
