That was the question a working man asked us some days ago. He said he considered it a good thing for the rich man but of no value to men like himself. “Do you remember the panic of 1907?“ we asked. “You bet I do,” he said. “The panic came so quickly I could not get ready for it. Work stopped. The hanks could not let us have money. We were certainly up against it good and proper.” “That panic would never have happened,”we told him, “if the Federal Reserve System had been organized then. At that time each bank had to stand alone. When danger appeared, we simply had to protect overselves the best we could. “Strong banks help to make good times. The Federal Reserve System is a benefit to every body in America.” THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Barnesville, Georgia BROWN’S GARAGE,PHONE 64 Bartlesville, Georgia Generator, Starter and Igni tion work for all cars.
