IT'S GOOD BUSINESS....TO DO
BUSINESS WITH YOUR BANK
(/
BANK CREDIT IS A
GREAT BUSINESS ASSET
The time is long past when wise business men operated
entirely on a cash basis. Inventories need to be re-
plenished when prices are low, sales expansion cannot
be financed out of current receipts alone. At such
times it is of great value to have established credit
at a sound bank. We welcome new accounts and hope
you will discuss your financing program with us.
