THE SCRANTON STATE BANK

There is no city in the South that can look
with greater pride on its bank than Scranton.
The officers of the Scranton State Bank are
all men Of capital, brains and ability, Its d.
rect management is under the able cashier
ship of Mr.. A. F. Thomasson and his assist
ant, Mr.. T. J. O'Connor, both gentlemen hav-
ing long experience in the banking business,
coupled with the sterling integrity of their

Of bank IN motion, nor estimate the great
amount Of money that is annually exchanged
