The farmers are delighted. This bank is lo-
cated in a strictly farming community and is of a
necessity a farmer's institution.
We call your attention to our statement of
today, published on this page, which is in itself con-
clusive evidence that this Bank has stock by the
farmers of this locality through crop failures and
money stringencies as well as when crops were
abundant and times were good.
The old proverb, "A friend in need is a friend
indeed," has always been our motto.
If you are not already a customer of tnis In-
stitution we invite you to become one. We will give
you accommodations in accordance with conserva-
tive banking.
