What A Bank Should Be t
To My
t:
•HE relation between a bank and its de-
positors is different from that between
other lines of business and their customers.
And a bank can be useful to its clients beyond
the mere depositing, paying and lending of
money. A bank stands in confidential rela-
tion to its depositors. It has opportunities to
help them and it has opportunit ies to take ad-
vantage of them. It become* ifamiliar with
their financial transactions J It> knows what
deals they are planning a|nd making. Not
only their money, but their business secrets
are in its hands for safekeeping. Further, the
bank is the support behind a man, upon which
he can call for help when he needs it. It is
like the reserve troops which a general keeps
to use when he gets in a pinch.
Your bank, to be really useful to you should
have a strict sense of honor. It should be ab-
solutely safe. It should be big and strong en-
ough to furnish help when it is called lor.
Where can you find such a bank?

In choosing a bank you are governed largely
by its personality and safety. You want courte-
ous and friendly treatment from the officers uinl
employes. And you want sound assurance that
your money will be safe.
We would like for you to investigate our abil-
ity to fill these requirements. We are constant-
ly striving to make this known as a friendly,
helpful bank. We are all at your service and we
will give your personal attention in extending
every proper ban! ing facility.
As for safety, there are no safer banks than
those backed by the Depositors' Guaranty Law.
A fund of half a million dollars and state ma-
chinery to raise more is pledged in protection
of your deposits.
