meeting Marce 3rd with Mrs. E. E
Coons. Owing to the inclemency of
the weather few could attend.
Those answering to roll call were:
Mesdames Gex, Coons, Mason,
Hamilton and Williams. Notwtih-
standing the small attendance, the
lesson on "Aerial Navigation" with
Mrs. Hamilton as leader, proved
most interesting in every way.
Mrs. Gex read an instructive paper
on "Inventions" setting forth the
progress, advancement and profic-
iency of the Inventor. Mrs. Good-
man being absent, Mrs. Hamilton
read her paper on "Dangers and
Triumphs of the Air Ship" clearly
defining the perilous danger and
difficulties besetting the Aviator
and the decisive victory he has
achieved. After the lesson, the

This Bank
and Your Success
Many men have started in business with a capital
only of ability, hard work, honesty and a good reputation!
It is no uncommon thing for men thus handicapped to
win out and make a success in their undertakings. You
probably know of several such instances.
An important factor to their success, in almost everj
instance, you will find, was their bank account. Their
bank deposits may not have been large, but their con-
nection with the bank, coupled with their energy, honesty
and character, was the basis of the credit they were able
to establish, and throug credit, success was possible.
If you are storting out for yourself without eapital, by
all means have a bank account with this bank. It will
be a help to you in many ways.
