“GEORGE W. SCOTT COMPANY.”
One of the best repertoire companies
on the road is coming and will hold
the boards at the Opera House 3 nights
commencing Monday, April 13. Prob
ably the uppermost reason why this
company so quickly wins their way to
the hearts of the people is because of
their originality. Their repertoire of
society dramas, comedies and melo
dramas, all of which are Royalty
plays, bear no resemblance to any
plays you have ever seen, and yet
they are just as you think they should ;
be, which makes you woudei why j
some one else did not offer you the :
same class of attractions long ago. i
High class, modern vaudeville be- j
tween acts at each and ev ry per
formance, is one of the features of J
this organization. The opening bill
will be Hal Reid’s great play, “Roa
noke.” Sensational prices, 25c, 35c
and 50c.

An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient thing—
good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We
could have had, just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
1500,000. It would not have cost us one cent more.
What our patrons are really interested in knowing is, this
Bank has invested in its business, of ITS OWN MONEY,
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and undivided
profits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
