Successful
Banks.

1t will be interesting to some to
know that the most successful
banks in the whole United States
are the banks that pay interest on
deposits, ard that this community
is the one of the very few spots
on the globe where the banks do
not pay interest on deposits. Such
banks as the Farmers Bank of
Nansemond, Suffolk, Va, which
after paying a dividend of twen-
ty-hve per cent TO its stockholders
annually has made four hundred
and nifty thousand dollars on a
capital of $780, 900 and manv
other banks which have made a
phenomenal success are the
banks that pay interest on depos-
its.
In many of the towns where
the banks pay interest on deposits
the rate of discount is lower than
1t is in this community. We think
a depositor is entitled to interest
on his deposit and the many
years experience of the officers
OF our bank, in other banks, has
taught us that we can we'll afford
to pay our depositors interest.
Careful attention given to all
branches of banking, and three
per cent paid on all sums deposit
ed in our savings department.
