ASSOCIATION OK BANK WOMEN
TO MEET IN CHICAGO
Mrs. Berneece Brooks, Asst. Cash-

trop is a member of th«« Association
of Bank Women, which will hold it's
Nineteenth Annual Convention in Chi-

Hotel, according to Miss Emma E.
Claus, President of the Association
and Secretary.Treasurer of the Bank-
ers Trust Company of Gary, Indiana.
"In a world changing drastically,"
Miss Claus stated, "at the rate of
speed that is breathtaking, problems
each day seem to reach the heights
of complexity, only to assume a new
and different aspect tomorrow. Forci-
bly the realization is brought home
to us that it is of paramount import-
ance to give seriojs consideration and
study to trends in banking develop-
ment in this country, to keep oursel-
ves informed of such developments in
thf country as a whole and in the
communities we serve.
"Surely through an intelligent ap-
plication of the knowledge and infor-
mation so acquired," she continued,
"we may effectively assist in answer-
ing the needs of our banks, our cus-
tomers and our communities. More
thaji ever we need the stimulation
and attendant encouragement gained
from personal contact with others
who have a common interest in the
solution of such problems as face us
tudav."

It's * very interesting story that Mr.
Tbcmas tells. Here's what he says:
"My friends point me out on the street
as the felloe who knows what's what
about beer. I got this reputation by telling
everyone that Southern Select is the best
tasting beer. Maybe I'm a fanatic on the
subject but folks certainly respect m\ judg-
ment and when they compart- Southern
Select with any other brand they quickly
admit that I'm a hundred per cent correct."
You might as well enjoy the best and
best tasting beer —so order Southern
Select! It's the only beer in the South
brewed with distilled water!
