This Bank has an authorized
CAPITAL of $100,000.00.
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 OVVN MONEi
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and mndvided
profits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL.BE PAID IN as soon as we believe it can be safely
and profitably invested.
RUNNING RISKS
; " ., ~ • ~~ ,-: _■——
In spite of tbe possibility of loss by burglars or lire
a great many people continue to keep money
about tlieir homes. By so doing they are not only
risking the loss of money but also their lives. How
much safer it would be if these people would
put their money into a good safe bank. Are you
running such risks?
