Logan County State Roads
The county commissioners
have finished their work of
selecting the roads in Logan
county to be designated as state
roads.

run south from Marshall, turn
west through Lovell, thence on
south and east through Crescent
and on to Guthrie.
The other road selected is the

SAFETY FIRST
What a great relief it is to the man
wit h money to know that no misman-
agement of a bank can affect the secur-
ity of his Savings. The Hennessey
State Bank offers in the Guarantee
Law a splendid protection for the de-
positors. Although failures have oc-
curred involving millions of dollars, all
the depositors of failed banks have al-
ways secured every dollar of their own
on demand. Isn't that a pretty fair
record from the depositor's standpoint?
We will extend, any accommodation
that any other well managed bank will
and in addition we give you Absolute
Protection for your money you de-
posit with this bank. We guarantee
satisfactory service;
