Our Care of Details.
In spite of the large number of “big” accounts handled
by this bank and in spite of the hundreds of dollars that
passes through our hands every day, both our official staff
and our clerical force are careful that no detail of business
shall be overlooked. Accounts are handled with the
greatest care and accuracy.
Ask any of our depositors about the degree of perfection
that our methods have reached; and if this is the kind of
a bank you would like to do business with, we will be
glad to have your account.

Tippins Bill Would Bar
Household Necessities
Atlanta, July 22.—According to
Dr. W. 8. Elkin, Jr., chairman of the
legislative committee of the Georgia
Druggists’ Association, the passage
of Tippins bill would seriously crip
ple the legitimate drug business in
this state. It weuld be a serious
menace, he declares, to health and
comfort because it would render im
possible the sale of many drugs and
preparations regarded as essential.
Notonly will it interfere with the
sale of many necessary drugs, he
says, but will break up the sale of
many innocent proprietary toilet
articles, which must contain more
than one-half of one per cent of
alcohol. Antiseptics, flavoring ex
tracts, vanilla, listerine, simple elixir
and a great many things regarded
as household necessaries are among
the things which Dr. Elkin says the
Tippins bill would bar.
