The continued successful growth
of the Merchants National Bank
of this city. has been without q
parallel in the history of banking
houses in this state. It is one of
the Pioneer banks of West Virgin
ia.
The Merchants National Bank
offers to its large number of patrons
every facility for the prompt and
economical transaction of bushes j.,
and the most liberal treatment cor
sistent with sound banking. These
who are familiar with tile bank
and its courteous management find
a pleasure in doing business there
That the Merchants National Bank
has been a magnificent success
from it's early foundation, is not
over estimating this we'll known
institution. for every year has
brought about q substantial in
crease in its business. 1t is CON.
elusive, therefore. that such
growth is largely due to the care
full management, shrewdness and
free and aboveboard business spirit
for which this benk has become
noted. These are among the great
factors which produce a sound md
Healthy bank, while it is generally
recognized at home and abroad as
one of the solid institutions, that
reflect credit alike upon it's mana
gers and the community in which
its influence is felt. The banking
house which is conveniently locat.
ed in the handsome hotel building,
The Speaoer, every practical fscili-
ty is at hand. and every modern
detail is carefully observed and we
truthfully say that it is one of the
strongest banks as we'll as has the
finest banking house in the state.
The officers and all connected with
this bank are true gentlemen in
every respect and are at all times
ready and glad to accommodate the 90
who may have an occasion to visit
the bank.
1t matters not with the people in
this bank whether you are rich or
poor, young or old, all get the same
courteous treatment at all times.
