NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN,
the women are the money-savers
of the family. Men mean well
enough. They Know the value
of having money in the bank,
but they haven't the knack of
saving. They haven't learned
the trick of making one dollar do
the work of two in buying, and
of laying the other dollar away
for the rainy day that may come.
We desire to encourage these
thrifty women, and this is our urgent
invitation to those who may desire
to open a bank account. Our officers
and employes will be glad at all
times to give any information that
may be desired in reference to the
banking business.
