NUMBER 32
TEXHOMA, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, 17, AUGUST 1911.
VOLUME FOUR
The Man Behind the Plow
Is the most independent wotker of which we know. He is his own manager and en-
joys complete control of his business,
But while he is independent, he must take care of himself as a duty to himself and
his family. We believe the best way of doing this, so far as the farmers of this com
munity is concerned, is to have an account with this bank.
If you will deposit the proceeds frcm the sales of your farm products in this bank you
can then pay all your bills with checks on us. If you have not been using this method of
keepsng a check on your business, you will appreciate the many advantages offered by
such a system. It will save you considerable worry about the safty of your money or
the danger of paying bills the second time.
Your cancelled checks are a receipt for every dollar paid out.
