A STATE BANK
Most men carry insurance. They insure their lives, their horses and their
household goods. But how many men stop to think if their money is insured?
If your money is deposited in a state bank it fs insured by the DEPOSI-
TORS' GUARANTY.LAW. This gives insurance against loss from fire,
wind, robbery and dishonesty. For if a bank should fail from these or any
other cauise, depositors would be paid immediately and in full from the
STATE GUARANTY FUND.
Put your money where it is insured. Open an account with us. You will
know then that it is safe.
"No depositor has ever lost a dollar in a state bank in Oklahoma."
