cheap and PERFECTLY safe insurance.
This Order by sound and wise business management has
accumulated surplus amounting to the enor
nous sum of Sc, 100000
honestly believe that every of family should take
advantage of the protection offered cheapy by this
GREAT ORDER.
And like this Order believe that is the duty of
every man. during times of prosperity to lay aside por-
ton of his earnings reserve, that in of sick
other misfortune heiwil be prepared to meet the
additional expense that at these times.
The FAULKNER COUNTY BANK, since established,
has followed this wise plan of putting aside part of its
earnings and today is MANY thousand dollars stronger
than when it began business in 1903.
We appreciate the liberal patronage that has been given
us and in return we have endeavored to give
