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
