Emmons County Record: Well, at last
Emmons county has a bank. We do not
mean a snow bank, but a real, sure
enough bank, where under certain con-
ditions you can supply your depleted
wallet with filthy lucre, and where under
no conditions you are allowed to hand in
your wad, to the end that thieves may
not steal it, and that you may not spend it
without due and proper consideration.
Yes, there's a bank at Braddock, over on

mons county folks have been doing bus
mess with those gentlemen for many a
year, and it isn't necessary for the Rec
ord to state hat the same liberal meth
DDS will prevail at the Braddock bank
that have prevailed at the First National
in the Capital City.
