The Ideal Gift—
A Bank Account
“What to give” ii immediately decided in
the presentation of a bank account with us.
Delicacy may forbid making a direct gift of
money, which, it may be said, is one of the
most sensible of holiday remcmbcrances.
But in the form of a bank account, is not
only acceptable, but the start may be worth
many times the amount to the recipient.
We wish you a Merry, Merry Christmas.

St. Louis affording you from one to three days better
service than you can otherwise receive. We are not re-
ceiving the cooperation of our patrons which we feel we

That in the buying of Christmas Presents you purchase
something useful. A few pieces of Aluminium Ware
a Percolator, Silverware, Chlnaware or a

appropriate gift. Especially do we desire to show you
