Isn't banking. Bunking la a science backed by money and ex-
perience.
It baa never been our ambition to eee bow large a bank we
could build but bow strong we could build.
We believe It la good bnalnese policy to become Identified
with a strong bank. If you are not a depositor, become one at
the first opportunity. Your business wUl have the same care-
ful attention that Ve give our own. Our experience has proven
While your children are getting their education.
Pa meets:
don't forget that one of the requisites of success Is the lesson
of economy and saving. Teach the child the way of economy
when he Is young and when he Is old he will not depart from it.
Start your child with a small acccount In this bank and he will
not only get the saving habit, but will grow accustomed to busi-
ness ways. We always give careful attention to our youthful
customers and give all information possible which will lead to a
proper understanding of modern business methods.
This Is so ture and so well known
that It Is la danger of becoming a
truism and so losing Its Import.
The avurage man will see the train
o' the statement and will endorse It
from a purely academic standpoint.
The trouble Is that the average man
Into it go at that. He frequently does
not recognise In the truth something
for his own personal application; at
best he realises that It Is a good
thing for the other felllw's personal
application.
la no organisation Js team work
at once more essential and more dif-
ficult of achievement than In a Com-
mercial Club. It Is essential because
the accomplishment of any work -in-
volving the betterment of a communi-
ty depends upon harmony, coopera-
tion and unity of purpose. There
must be a multiplicity of activities
centering around^ the dominant
thought; and unless the relationship
of the detail to the whole'Yabric Is
kept la mini! constantly, difficulties
result. It Is difficult of accomplish-
ment because the work is almost
wholly performed by volunteers who
Srd appointed upon committees or
subcommittees and are chosen be-
cause of their special fitness for the
work and thfir very enthusiasm for
it heads. The organisation must
therefore have tegm work of Its mem-
bership and must function as a highly
efficient Individual who knows what
be wants to do and knows how to do
