WHAT'S THE WORD?
Gallo Winery, Modesto, Calif.
: SALUTING TWO GREAT MEN -
WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN!
Because so much of this nation's greatness rests on two
veritable pillars of strength — George Washington and Abraham Lincoln
it is only fitting that we should pause to honor them during the month
when they were born.
We like to feel that Matanuska Valley Bank is also founded on two
'pillars"—integrity and personal service. Our financial strength and
sincere interest in this community's growth have made us the dependable
institution we are today.
