CITIZENS BANK

A glance over the career of the
Citizens Bank of Henderson reveals
from its Inception the constant
presence ard benefcent influences
of the two great forces which make
for popularity and prosperity in the
banking business. SECU RITY and
PROGRESS. tLe former, in the par
ticular instance, attracted by the allur-
ing and eXce ptiOnal conditions OF a
capitalization being increased over
three-fCld from net earnings alone and
by constantly growing surplus, and
the otter by judiciously liberal pol
fey in managemeDt-a policy which
has ever coo perated with legitimate
enterprise at home On the broadmlnded
principle that the development OF local
interests promotes the welfare and
prosperity Of the entire community.
The Citizens Bank. to-day one OF the
most prosperous of the many institu-
lions engaged in the banking business
in North Carolina, was organized and
incorporated By group or vance

citizens in 1889, and began business
with a paid-up capital of $30,OO0.O0.

Of many Of the leading individuals and
business interests of Vance county
were being secured daily, and as the
months rolled by the deposits and
earnings increased constantly and have
continued to grow hourly up to the
present moment. In 1895 the Citizens
Bank consolidated with the Bank Of
Henderson, circumstance which
aligned up other important influences
and gave a greater impetus to its de-
velopment For the people Of Vance
