DEPORT, LAMAR COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 21, 1924
NUMBER 42
Your'Success is Our Success
As banks prosper only in proportion that their
customers succeed, it is only logical that they
should be interested in every method or plan
that is vital to the conduct of the business of
each depositor.
With this thought of mutual prosperity in
mind, we invite our depositors to talk over
every business problem with us. If we can
assist with our experience, we shall be most
happy to have rendered a worth-while service.
Make yourself at home at this bank.
