The Farmer
The farmer is the man who feeds us all. If the
farmer should quit work the whole world would have
to go out of business. He is the most important factor
in the world today—always has been—always will be.
This bank has many, farmer patrons. Farmers are
conducting their business along modern lines these
days, the same as other business men. They are the
solid, reliable men of the community and every bank
has reason to feel proud of its farmer friends. The
accommodations of our bank are always at the dis-
posal of the farmers. You are invited to make our
bank your headquarters when in-town. Our interests
are mutual, and we will be glad to serve you.
