MEN OF AFFAIRS.
CAN you think of a man of affairs
without a Bank Account?
And yet every Boy desires to become
a man of affairs.
There is no better education for a
Boy than a Bank Account.
It v&ill make a man of him much
quicker than a cigarette will.

I Dead or Alive!!
A dead dollar is the one which is
hidden away; which earns you
nothing and which is liable to turn
up missing without a moment's no-
tice; or the kind you carelessly push
across the counter, for this and that;
things you really don't need—then
in a week’s time where they have
gone?
A live dollar is the one which you
place in this bank, where it is al-
ways safe. They will call for com-
pany; the result is, more saving;
then when opportunity arrives, you
are financially able to meet it with
open arms and a bank account.
D. P. RICHARDSON, President.
ARTHUR T. MARCH, Cashier.
