COMMUNITY INTERESTS
And Opportunities.
Your money in the bank is in active use and benefits the
community in which you live, and where all your interests
are. It is money in circulation-it plants the fields and moves
the crops to the market.
But many paople miss golden opportunities to make money
by their failure to entrust their funds to a bank that can
and will respond to their needs when in ne and of additional
funds for an investment. Depositors of this bank will tell
you that they have never asked for a loan and failed to get
it if entitled to it. This bank takes pride in its ability at all
, times to render this sort of assistance to its customers.
The mission of this bank is to serve and its desire is to con
tinue to grow. Our growth means greater ability to serve
our customers. If we are not already serving you, let’s talk
the matter over.
