A Few
Important
Facts
Did you know a law had been
enacted by the United State*
Government whereby a man can
deposit his savings in certain
postoffices and have the Govern-
ment responsible to him for the
safe return of his money?
Did you know the postoffice at
West had been designated by the
Government as such a depository?
Did you know The National
Bank of West had been named by
the Government as a place
which the postmaster must de-
posit] funds received by him as
postal deposits, funds for which
the Government is responsible?
This shows what Uncle Sam
thinks of The National Bank of
West.
If this Bank it good enough
for Uncle Sam. is'nt it good
enough for you?
SURELY YES
Remember this when you de-
posit, and deposit with us.
