They Prefer Drafts
"In sending off the money for my life insur-
ance," said a man, "they asked me to send a
bank draft. Why ain't my cheek alrig+it?" We
answer: Because they are not acquainted with
you, while our bank is listed in the bank direc-
tories. They know us and know our correspond-
ents. Another thing, they might have to pay
exchange on your personal checks, while our
bank draft always goes at par. Then again, if
your check gets lost in the mail it takes much
delay and correspondence to get matters straight-
ened out again, while if one of our drafts is lost
we can issue a duplicate without delay. It is
always advisable to use a bank draft when send-
ing money away.
FIRST STATE BANK
Canton, Okla.
The Accommodating Bank
At 9 o'clock the patient's tem-
perature rose to 106. From that
time his condition rapidly be-
came worse until the end.
Mr. Sherman was unconscious
when the end came, and had been
in that condition for hours. All
the immediate family were wit-
nesses to the final scene.
Mr. Sherman was regarded as
the first citizen of the city and
all differences growing out of
politics died with him.
1 The mayor gave out a state-
ment voicing the general grief
and the big bell at the city hall
as well as many church bells,
tolled out the doleful news to a
public to which it was not news.
Not only did the republican
organization take proper cogniz-
ance of the event, but the pro-
gressives announced their inten-
tion of cancelling all meetings
until after the vice-president's
funeral.
Governor Johnson, who so long
as Mr. Sherman lived was his
rival for vice-presidential honors,
was to have spoken here tomor-
row in behalf of the progressive,
but his address like all others of
the kind has been deferred.
The democrats also signified
their intention of removing a
Wilson and Marshall banner
which had been flung across one
of the city streets and of sus-
pending all political activity
until after the funeral. In the
course of his tribute Mayor Baker
said:
"Mr. Sherman has long been
connected with the business inter-
ests of Utica. His home life was
beautiful. It was a model for all
American families. He found
the greatest pieasure when sum-
moned by those who loved him
and it is there that his genial
presence will be missed. Stricken
as he was with an illness which
required constant watchfulness,
Mr. Sherman bore it with a forti-
tude which exemplified the strong
characteristics of the man."
A Successful banking institution
succeeds in business by reason
of its stability, its integrity, and the confidence that is
reposed in it by the public. The widows mite is saf
in our institution, along with other funds intrusted to
us for safety in order that they may increase.
