to either sell the old bank building
and all the contents or to rent
same, at a reasonable pr ice. rf?iere

appreciate a bank now to the ex-
tent that we would join Mr. Mor-
gan in taking some bank stock and
helping Pecan Gap to regain some
of the valuable business that has
been and is now going to other
near-by towns. In former years
Pecan Gap was one of the out- R°fc>e! t Bryant
standing little towns of this se -
tion of the state as being both a j
“fine banking town and a splendid !
cotton market." We can regain
this reputation now on both lines
if we will only try to get people
with financial means to estt - i
a banking institution here and a!- I
so to get our farmers to raise bet-
ter staple cotton. Here's hoping
that we accorplish both during
t e year of 1937.
