With the growth of the city
and pushing its business into the
interior. the volume of business
increased wonderfully. In glanc-
ing over the list of stockholders
of the Traders National Bank, it
is found to contain some of the
strongest men in the country;
men whose names are synonyms
for wealth, financial ability, and
integrity.
Among the list are some of the
leading merchants, farmers and
professional men of the State.
Since its commencement it has
created a new era in the banking
business of our city, ITS offices
are conveniently located. neatly
and handsomely furnished, con
verience has not been sacrificed
for display. but everything
needed for the proper transaction
of business is at hand. aud it's
arrangements are complete.
The special pride of it's cashier
is in the efficiency of it's collec-
ton department, which is excel
led by none in the painstaking
and promptness with which the
work is done, and report of re.
suits made. Its connections with
points in State and the unsur.
passed facilities for transaction
OF business at other points, make
: this bank most desirable medi.
um for merchants. as well as
banks and bankers to which to
send their items for collection.

THAr the English language is elusive

Significance is well illustrated by the
phrases fresh eggs" and strictly fresh
eggs An entirely honest grocer will
assure customers that he hos fresh eggs
when he knows full well that the eggs
he has have been packed in straw for
weeks: but If he is really an honest
grocer he will not give the assurance
that they are strictly fresh eggs, be-
cause the latter phrase has in the trade
q meaning widely different from that of
the other. Again, the phrase strictly
fresh eggs" has different meanings at
different seasons 1t may mean now IN

not above two days old.
