State Depository
Tine Best Place*
It might interest you to know that this Bank has been for many years a designated
depository for the state's money and just recently it has been re-appointed for anoth
er term of years—continuing proof of the confidence reposed by the Plato ir. the secv
rity of its funds, as well as the satisfactoryservice rendered by an old and strong ban •.
It might also interest you that this Bank has ample fire and burglar insurance, all
officials bonded, and every other precaution is used to ADi.QI .A ILIA safeguaid the
funds entrusted to its care.
Isn't such a place a better location for your money than that of keeping i: in tna
home or on your person, and, taking chances of fire, burglary or other loss:
And, too, isn’t it a better place than that of risking it in some wild-cat stock, or oth
er enticing venture—maybe a risky lohn —promising big dividends or interest, which
ventures frequently result not only in losing the big dividends or interest, out prin
cipal as well.
The BEST PLACE for your money is ina good bank, like ours, where it is always
safe and can be found when needed.
