What is There In Itfor Me?
Most of us are selfish, ever looking for the main chance, constantly asking, "What
is there in it for me?" This is all right. We would hardly expect anyone to do business
with us to ther own disadvantage, but we think they should study the situation enough
before they send their business elsewhere, to assertain wherein they themselves are to be
benefitted. * Now as regards sending their money away to distant cities for deposit, we
have never been able to see how that benefits the one who sends or the community in
which he lives. Several banks in Cleveland and Pittsburg are making strong appeals for
deposits to be sent tnem. Tney pay no more interest than local banks, yet thousands of
people are sending their,money to them nevertheless. We feel like presentihg a barrel
of apples to the man ivho will come to the bank some bay and make clear to us how he
is personally benefitted by having his money deposited in a large city bank instead of
this bank. Our opinion it we would be able to keep the apples a long time. It alays pays
to be fair and sensible. If you wish to be prosperous, keep your money here.

May Get School Taxes from Railroad
P. M. Williams informs us that
we may soon get the railroad tax be-
longing to the Texhoma public schools
which has been tied up by Injunction
proceedings so long. If we succeed
in getting this back tax it will lighten
our school tax for 1911 and 1912.
The school board assit-teed by Supt.
Kinsey, has been working on this
back tax and we understand have
about come to a satisfactory under-
standing with the railrond.
How People Lose Their Money
By concealing it about their person; by stowing it away in mugs
and, jugs and jars; by sewing it up in skirfs and ticks ; by tucking
it under couches aud carpets; in cupboards and bureau drawers.
How People Save Their Money
By depositing it in a good, reliable bank. Confident that this bank*
meets the public needs, we tender the services of our bank to all
who believe in keeping on the safe side.
