"MR. FARMER:--
We believe that a large majority of the
" farmers in this community are in @ much bet
_ ter condition than the farmers in any other
' section of the state. And we contribute this
. largely to the fact that thesc particular men
have learned the advantages of borrewing
_ money from a bank, instead of buying their
- supplies “on time” B by
4 A large number of our new accounts are
* Farm accounts; and it will be worth YOUR
. while to arrange to borrow money from us so
. that YGU can pay cash for your needs.
