Banking,
helps the community
and nation.
No one understands the business needs of his Commu-
nity so well as the banker who lives and does business
there. At the same time he keeps informed as to na-
tional business developments and their effect on local
conditions. No one is more deeply interested than he
in the success and prosperity of his neighbors, for their
business welfare means safe, lucrative employment for
his loanable funds.
This bank, typical of the American Ranking System, is
a constructive force in the business lite of this Commu-
nity. It is engaged with many of its neighbors in play-
ing a part in the nation’s business by capable manage-
ment of local enterprise. We invite more of our neigh-
bors to come and discuss their plans with us.
