The Valley Bank.

Safety Is the WatChWOrd Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Bank, which Is one Of
the most prosperous institutions Of the
kind in the South. The stockholders
are oil men Of large means, outside Of
their banking business, and among
our largest real estate owners, and
their individual property is bound for
the business Of their bank. This fact,
with the experience Of their grey
haired President, joins a. KLEIN,
Esq, who has, for oyor forty years,
enjoyed the respect and confidence Of
the people Of our State, brought to
him by high reputation for integrity
and mercantile success, and the pru-
dent policy always pursued by this
bank, have given to 1t an unu-
sual degree Of confidence; and, dur
ing the last business season, its de-
pOsits, including those Of the Savings
Bank, have largely exceeded One-half-
million Of dollars. Mr.. Geo. M. Klein,
the Cashier Of the Valley Bank, has
good cause 10 thank our people, and
his own good management for the
hourishing condition Of his bank.
From the columns Of the massive front
to the heavy vault and safes, protect
ed by the best of time locks and other
appliances that could be obtained, Sc
curity and solidity seem to have
placed their stamp upon this institu,
ton. The record of the house; it,
large means; the strict avoidance Of
over drafts and unsecured loans, and
their high standard Of conservative
banking, all promise a prosperous and
honorable career for the Mississippi
Valley Bank. We wish for this insti'
tuition many years Of success and use,
