Sometimes We Loan
You Our Credit

Reference is sometimes better
than cash, viz: IA young man just
starting in business wanted to bor-
row money from bank; he couldn't
get it. He was allowed to refer to
the bank, and this was better for him
than cash.
La Junta tribune., 1910-12-10

We have money to loan, and you
can get accommodation if you are
entitled to it. Our Loans are
Small. We never loan more than
$4,000 in one loan. Small loans
never break . bank.
Before profits, dividends or busi-
ness ambition, TIE policy of the
First National Bank has always been
to be safe. The officers most sa-
cred responsibility is to, the depos-
itors. Not a dollar is loaned for
accommodation or friendship, but
solely andsgtriictly as business and
because the borrower is able to pay.
Our money is the depositors' money,
and every dollar loaned must be as
good as gold. ,t
Every note reasonably doubtful
is charged off.
