Increasing that strength to the llml

"The present enlisted strength of the

"While many reasons have been an

found In tho Inadequacy of the pay.
"While there la always more or less

Good Banking
T HE THREE FACTORS in maintaining a high-
standard of backing are: the close attention paid
by the bank’s directors to loans and investments;
the wide experience of its officers; and the promptness
and reliability of its clerical force.
The weekly investigation by the directors of the
Third National Bank of all loans; the thorough acquain
tance of its officers with every detail of banking; and the
painstaking care manifested by its employees, assure
patrons of this bank tho very best sendee it is possible
to obtain.
