Specia' attention is directed TO the

shows its finances to be in a most
prosperous condition.
This institution has now passed the
half.million mark IN resources, and
no stronger Endorsement could be de-
sired OF any institution. This alone
shows the high endorsement that Is
given IL by the general public as well
as the surrounding country.
Al great expense they have just
added a new automatic electric alarm
system to their already well-appointed
bank which consists OF new. expensive
and handsome vaults. besides the very
latest and most up-to-date furniture
and fixtures for the rapid transaction
of the enormous business thai is be-
ing handled by them.
Its officers. from President Thomas
down to the bookkeepers, are among
the most accommodating to be- found
in the entire South, and the very
careful manner in which they look at
ter the interests of all their custom
ers is self.explanatory for the volume
Of business that they are doing
The officers are w Il. Thomas, urcs.

Taylor. all OF whom are among the
leading and most Influential business
men OF this county
The fact that the bank now has on
hand more than 80 per cent of the
deposits, when the law only requires
30 per cent. is another evidence OF
the very efficient manner In which the
affairs OF the depositOrs' interests are
looked after.
During the past year, the DuttOn

the conservative and entcrprlsing men
who are placed in charge OF its at.

With all the new and up-to-date
methods that have been adopted at
the Dutton Bank they will now be bet

other banking houses.
The bank building is one of the
largest to be found In any interior

one desiring to do business with a
most courteous and accommodating
corps OF officials would do well to In.
