Does Your Business Now or
will it ever likely need a
Strong and a Willing Bank-
ing Institution back of it?
'HE best way to establish a credit at The
First National Bank is to carry an account
with it and it cordially invites the Farmer the
Cattleman the Merchant the Mechanic the
Professional man and the Laborer and all
others who desire to gain ground financially to
open an account with it.
Assets of nearly ONK MILLION DOLLARS make the position
of this bank a unique one for strength. Credit extensions are
made on approved collateral to its customers and friends on the
most favorable terms.
The business of the fanner often needs a little extra finan-
cial assistance if it Is growing and prosperous. That is one of
the reasoim why the farmer shonld have a strong and a willing
Imnk behind him. It is an Important function of this bank to
give temporary assistance to farmers who have demonstrated
their ability to repay obligations when due.
Accounts both large and small are welcome and are given
equally considerate and efficient attention and we cordially in-
vile individuals and Institutions to enter Into relations with us.
One of the great purposed of the Fir$t National Bank Is to
foster safe and legitimate enterprises and to discourage specula-
tive and hazardous risks. Its officers and board of directors are
conservative business men who never engage in any questionable
or speculative undertaking and who have made a success ot their
own affairs and their counsel Is williny given to thoBe whose
banking relations have been established with ub.
This bank has alwuyn contributed most largely to the funds
that have eared for the cotton crop and the farmers who desire
to hold their cotton for better prices can make arrangements with
us to take rare of their necessities during the sluggish periods of
the market.
Our bank h operated along the lines most needed for the
development of the country. We would rather with small loans
bridge over the tight places for a hundred good men and custo-
mers than to devote all our energies to a half dozen large con-
cerns. r I
For the convenience of ft customers friends and the public
in general the bank has a complete arrangement by which It can
issue its checks direct on every principal city In every country
in the world nnd every principal city in every country In the
world can draw their checks direct on us.
We realize that we have a useful place to occupy in the local
commercial world. Will you make this bank YOUR bank and
allow us to widen the scope of our usefulness? We cordially in-
vite you to do so.
