Here's A Bank
THOROUGHLY TESTED
Incorporated and operated under tested laws, by it body of safe,
conservative men, who believe more in "Hewing to the Line of Safe-
ty" than experimenting with business. Before establishing banking
connections wisely consider these questions:—
1st. Has that bank and the laws under which it is operated ever
been thoroughly tested?
2nd. Has prudent management and judicious handling of re-
sources always been a strong endorsement of satVt\
3rd. Are its resumes used as they should be, in advancing your
interests and welfare?
4th. Do the managing officers devote their sole time and energy
to customes' business and wants?
5th. Haven t you always received from us the painstaking ser-
vice of a safe bank, and had every possible accommodation extended
you in keeping with a bank of '-High Degree"?
Old customers frequently tell their friends h.. v well we ful-till all
of these points of "High Degree." You too will find the place all
we claim- A SAKE, (t XSKIIVATIVE BANK
