What is a
BANK?
A modern bank is more than a deposi
tory for money; more than a place upon
which to issue checks.
A modern bank is an institution of help
fulness to its depositors and clients. It
is interested in seeing that they are
prosperous and successful in the;r fi
nancial ventures.
Depositors who let us help them with
advice born of long experience, can tes
tify to the value of our service.

A new book, “The American Nation
al Red Cross,” by Elizabeth Picket f
has just been published by the Cen- j
tury company, Newf York City. It is j
small. 200 pages beautifully illustrat-i
ed. The pictures as well as the text
cover the origin, the purpose and the j
service of the Red Cross in a most in- j
teresting way. It is no effort to read |
it and it costs ony fifty cents. The
seventy illustrations are worth this j
small sum. \Ye are looking for a wide
distribution of this book throughout

ders may be left. writh Miss Fuller. A
