BANKING CODE
of Fair Competition
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 16th, 1933
Wl OP OUO MM
President Franklin D. Roosevelt Has Signed the Permanent Code for Banks of the United States
As the code__committee of the American Bankers Association interprets the code, no bank will be observing the CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION
unless it has som^,$ort of service charges. Banks must have service charges if it expectB to fly the BLUE EAGLE.
It is therefore imperative that every bank in Texas which has no service charges, install them at once to comply with the permanent code and co-
operate with President Roosevelt in the Recovery program.
For a number of years BANKS havebeen confronted with constantly increasing expenses and greatly diminishing sources of revenues and profits.
During the years the banks have maintained a high standard of banking service, and have constantly added many accommodations and services which
we believe to be appreciated, and wihich be believe have proven to be valuable and almost indispensable to our customers. However, after President
Roosevelt Bigned the Code, making it permanent, all banks are compelled to install service charges. The undersigned banks are complying with its
provisions.
After mature thought and consideration we have concluded that sound banking now demands that we make every eccount and every banking ser-
vice and accommodation pay at least the cost connected therewith. So to that end the banks of Erath county have adopted the following service charges
which will be effective on and after
