It Doesn’t Show In Our
BANK STATEMENT
Periodically we issue to the public a state-
ment which includes a listing of all our
assets. All? Well, not quite all. We must
admit there is one thing we leave out,
for it is impossible to figure in dollars and
cents. It’s our good will, one of the most
valuable assets we possess. You’ll sense
it, though, the minute you step into the
bank. It shows on the faces of our em-
ployees and our depositors.
Funny thing about good will: The more
we give out, the more we have left. Come
in and get your share.

Miss Linnie Ellen Hearn and to

He was a brother of the late J.
E. Philley.
Rugby Man Loses His
Trousers in Mower
Earl Grogan of the Rugby com-
munity, was de-trousered a few
days ago when the cuff on his
new work pants caught in the
shaft of his tractor-propelled
mower. The whirling shaft shred-
ded his pants from cuff to waist-
band and, knowing his neighbors
were not nudist-minded, he sent
home for another pair of trousers.
A projecting nut on the shaft
chewed a gash in his right leg
that required several stitches to
close.
