Modern Business and Banking
In this age of banking no busi-
ness can function properly unless
it is backed by a strong financial
connection.
Your banker’s personal interest
in you and his willingness to advise
and assist you in every possible way
is worth much to you in the success-
ful management of your affairs in
addition to the safety and conveni-
ence which such a connection offers.

was an Englishman, and who
served many years in the Eng-

of the heavens which reflected
the weather, and was an interest-

any subject. He had sailed the
Growers had hoped the weather
would clear to permit them to
gather the open cotton.- Pickers
have been scarce this fall, at d

gather the crop in that section
which is just opening. Due to
premature opening of bolls, much
cotton has been stained by the
