Gently granted charters for sew
en- new Witham banks, all locat-f
ed in the State of Georgia, which
will open for business Oct. 1, or
sooner. All of these banks
have the unique feature of deposs
TORS insurance, which means;
that the money deposited in the
Witham banks is insured against
loss from any and all causes.
These banks have proven to be
a great blessing to the country
districts in which they are 1ocat-.
ed. It is remarkable how many
industries and other improve
ments follow the Witham banks
in the fifty or more towns in
which these banks have been es-a
tablished. Charters have been
asked for these banks in such
towns as Maysvil1e, Taylorsville,
Wrens. Greensville, and other
progressive country towns.
