BE CAREFUL AND SYSTEMATIC
People who pay their bills by check get a repu-
tation for being careful and systematic in their
business dealings. Such a reputation means
mu.'h in the establishment of credit. It costs
no more to pay your money out by check than
it does to use the hard cash, and you have the
advantage of having it in a place that is abso-
lutly safe.
To haTe money in the bank is of itself a valuable
asset in the establishment of credit. And it is
possible to practically everyone without one
cent of cost. It takes no more money to do
business by the checking than it does by tne
cash-in-hand method.
We invite you to open a checking account with
us. We will help you to make your account a
real convenience.
