We offer to the people of Jack County all of the advantages of a
thoroughly up-to-date and conservatively managed hanking institution.
The affairs of the bank are administered by a conservative Board of
successful business men, under the direction of the Treasurer of the
United States. The hooks are audited at frequent intervals by a com-
mittee of competent accountants, and examined twice annually by a
Special Agent of the Treasury Department, thus insuring to our de-
positors# the greatest security known to the modern Banking fraternity.
Our depositors are among the best citizens of the community;
and, if you arc not already one of them, a very cordial invitation is
'extended to you to become one.
No deposit is too small to he welcomed, and equal courtesy is
shown to all, without regal'd to the size of their balances.
