There is no other place in the whole
country that does one. half the business
that Is done here but has bank or
good banking facilities, and how we
have lived and prospered without one
is q mystery that would be hard to
solve. We have lived and done well,
it is true, but how much better off We
would have been with good banking
facilities could hardly be guessed at.
At present all our banking business
has TO be done through New Orleans
and Mobile. Money Is always in good
demand here and can be used to a
good advantage, and safe investments
are always open. Mill men want a
good solid bank with not less than half
a million capital.-Pascagoula Demo-
