The deposits you place
in the local bank do more
for more people than you.
The bank takes these de
posits and loans them to
business and agriculture or
for personal loans for au-
tos or household items
putting your money back
into circulation almost im-
mediately and in your
community. So you can
see the depositing of your
money in your hometown
bank is the one item any
individual can do in help-
ing his community to grow.
Industry takes a long look
at these conditions, among
other things, wfsen moving
into your community. It
is a good idea to think not
only what your cash can
do for you directly but
what it does for your
friends in the community
in an indirect manner. This
makes good community
and good BANK CENTS.
We want you to know
