"Is a bank loan a favor
to the borrower?"
No, indeed! Credit is part of a bank's stock in trade;
so we are as eager to extend it by making loans as a
merchant is to sell goods. Of course, we do not sell
funds, but merely sell their use. Since the money
belongs to our depositors, we must use care in grant'
ing a loan. But the prospective borrower of good
credit standing should no more hesitate to request a
loan from us for a sound purpose than he would
hesitate to buy something needed. See us about your
credit needs: You're welcome at our bank SOJ timet
