On last Friday afternoon Misses
Johnnie Dell White and Lucille White
I entertained the Girls Bridge Club an I
a few guests at the bcatuiful ranch ,
home of their uncle, S. E. Mcknight,
which is about 13 miles from town.,
The affair was very pretty from ev-
ery standpoint, the beautiful home
closely surrounded by large live-
oak trees and green grass lending,
1 to the prettiness of the interior.
Miss Dix Miers won high score j
at bridge with Mrs. Joe Vander
Stucken getting the consolation and
Mrs. Ed Mayfield getting the guest
high score prize.
A delicious plate lunch was served
’to the following:
Misses Dix Miers, Eula Mae Ross,;
Joanna Stokes, Mary Dan Wilson,
Bonnie Glasscock, Gwyn Blanton, and
Mesdames Frank Bond, Joe Vander

TOTAL_______________ $243,056.10
This, with our total resources, which run between
Eight and Nine Hundred Thousand, and often up to One
Million Dollars, shows the amount of resources that we
have to give us the ability to handle all the business of
Sonora and the Devil’s River country.
We are the oldest bank in existence that has been
organized south of San Angelo, having organized in
19u0 with a paid-up capital of only $50,000.00, and for
many years our deposits running around $80,000.00 to
$125,000.00. Consequently, it is easy to see that we have
enjoyed the confidence of the citizenship without which
our business could not have increased to the present
standing. Our surplus funds have also been used in
assisting our customers in making a success. The pros-
perity of the country is reflected in our sworn statement
of condition on March 23rd, 1927, a copy of which is
reproduced in this paper, and we especially invite your
attention to it. We want to assure you that we give care-
ful personal consideration to all business entrusted to
our care and at all times keep sufficient funds on hand
to handle the needs of the country.
Whenever you are in Sonora we will be pleased to
have you call on us, and if we can be of any service and
assistance to you financially let us know your needs.
We are only too willing to handle your business, whether
large or small, consistent with conservative banking, as
you must remember a bank is only a custodian of other
people’s funds, and its strength is shown by its capital
and surplus, and the sound investment of its funds.
