This Is a departure for local news
saper that it might be well for others
to follow. The showing made for
Woodville is excellent. For instance:
The Bank Of Woodville stock, par
value $1O0, is worth $40; Citizens
Bank, par value 800, is worth $195,
and so on down the line for ten differ

only one stock is offered below par,
that Of the broom factory. With ten
chartered institutions. and only one
with its stock below par, Is showing
of which Woodyille can certainly feel
proud.
