We wish to thank the people of Carbon and surrounding country for their very liberal patronage and loyal sup-
port to this Bank since it’s organization in 1904, the result has been a growth that is truly wonderful, and of
which we are justly proud. In these days of keen competition, the success of a bank may be said to depend
primarily upon the liberality of treatment accorded it’s customers. Recognizing this fact THE BANK OF CARBON
grants as generous terms and treatment as are consistent with modern, conservative banking methods. Possibly
you are already a patron of this Bank. If not, it might be1 well to start in with the new yoar. A trial
may prove mutually profitable. Assuriug you of our ability to care for your every want consistent with
conservative banking, and with a view of getting better acquainted, we invite you to call. Respectfully,
COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.

It cannot be disputed that ad-
vertising of some kind must be
done, and is done, in every bus-
iness whether big or little.
There are lots of ways and kinds
of advertising, but the news-
paper is a medium by which a
business man can reach the
people oftenefr and much cheaper
than any other profitable way of
advertiseing. It is cheaper than
to pay postage and take time to
write a letter to each individual
BH the community every week.
Mr. Payne of our community And in asmuch as the newspaper
had biz in Cisco Monday. i is the cheapest profitable way of
Geo. Payne of our community [ advertising, every business man
