WE DESIRE to make the First
National the Bank of the
People. The small depositor re-
ceives the same courteous treat-
ment and consideration that is ex-
tended to the largest within the
limits of safe and conservative
banking. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe-
guard known to safe and successful
banking is availed of and our past
success is the best criterion by
which to judge the security of the
future.
Capital $100000
Surplus $25000
THE FIRST NATIONAL is pre-eminently the Bank of the Frontier. Its
stockholders belong here. Its interests are those of our best and most pro-
gressive citizens. We offer to our customers present and prospective the ad-
vantages of the largest capital and surplus of any bank in this section and of the
safe and conservative banking methods which have resulted in the successful building
up of this bank in the past twelve years.
Its financial position is established and the energy experience and business
ability of the management will continue to be wholly directed to the maintenance and
increase of these advantages.

Operation
Mrs. Malinda Akers of Basham Va writes:
"I had what doctors call 'prolapse' and couldn't
stand straight. I had pain in my back and
shoulders and was very irregular and profuse.
Doctors said an operation was needed but I
couldn't bear the thought of the knife. After tak-
ing three bottles of Wine of Cardui-1 could walk
around. Can now do my housework and am in
splendid health."
