Hoarding Money
Individual safety and community growth depend upon the bank-
ing of mor.ey.
In the case of the individual, hoarding money about the person or
premises endangers every waking and sleeping hour through fear
of loss by fire or burglary.
To the community, hoarding money and keeping it from circula-
tion in the banks, retards the growth of the commui.'ty, and there-
by lessens the usefulness of the bank in its service to depositors.
Your own personal safety and your duty to your community de-
mands that you put your money on deposit in the bank. We solicit
^your accooat here.
