Thcmk You .. .
When we make a loan we do
it because we believe it is good
business for the bank.
The borrower need not thank
us, as loaning money is our
business, just as selling nails
is the business of a hardware
merchant.
We solicit good loan applica
tions. for which we will gladly
say “Thank you.”
