Wise Provision Against
Future Needs
The regular bank depositor has a bank reference and
standing that is of inestimable worth.
The man stands in his own light who hasn’t a regular connec-
tion with a strong bank, and the influence that such
gives.
A permanent banking connection is a wise provision against
every future need.

PWA School Construction
More than half of all public school
construction going on in the United
States is being financed by the Gov-
ernment under the PWA program.
$210,000,000 has been added to the
capital outlay for this purpose as a
direct result of the $8,700,000,000
PWA program adopted by Congress.
Without this Federal assistance, very
little school construction would be
going on. Fully half of this amount
is being spent on elementary and sec-
ondary schools. Depression or no
depression, we must not neglect edu-
cating the boys and girls.
