AS to the resident directors, all come
from that circle of FroStburg business
men, whose foresight and industry
have made them leaders in our finan-
cia and social world. All are sqte
men, and we take it their names will
be accepted as certain guarantee
that all the affairs Of the bank will be
conducted on strictly business prn-
ciples.
The JOURNAL is thus particular in
commencing all the gentlemen con
nec:ed with the new institution, first
because they are entitled to it, and
second-becauSe it is anxious that the
bank shall enjoy popular confidence
fully right from the start. We want
depositors, large and small, to give it
at once their fullest trust, for 1t is pro-
posed that it shall bo an advantage
alike to every workingman, trades
man, merchant, ETC., who may wish to
avail himself Of its facilities as Il place
of deposit or exchange.
Outside of the assurances we have
Of the financial ability and integrity
of the responsible officers of the bank it
should be remembered also that they are
under bonds in large amounts for the
faithful and honest performance of
their duties, to the end that depositors
may be fully secured
The directors have secured the room
lately occupied by Mayor William
Thomas rs shoe store. 1t is well
suited and located for the purpose.
They will fit it up and equip it in good
style for banking purposes, and with
a safe, unquestionably fire and burglar
proof, and of the latest and most ap-
proved pattern, nothing will be left
undone by the directory to make the
institution as reliable as anything can
be secured in this world.
That the public will give the bank
full confidence, after all the provis-
ions thus made for the popular con
venience, the JOURNAL has not the
shadow of a doubt.
