WHY A
NATIONAL BANK
IS BEST.


l. A NATIONAL BANK is under the
supervision Of the United States Gov
ernment.
2. LAWS governing National Banks
are very strict.
3. NATIONAL BANKS are required
to submit to the Government and publish
in their home paper an exact statement
of their Business five times year.
4. NATIONAL RANKS are examined
twice year by experts from the United
States Treasury
8, THEIR STOCKHOLDERS are held
responsible in double the amount of
their stock, thus giving undoubted Sc
curity to the depositors.
FIVE DOLLARS will open an ac-
count with us.
SMALL ACCOUNTS are especially
solicited.
