WHY BANK YOUR MONEY?

Some of tho reasons are that mon- ey in the bank is less likely to be spent foolishly, will not be lost acci- dentally and best of all the possession of bank account is unconsciously an inspiration to add to ones savings. The best bank is the one to patronize. The Valley Bank of Phoenix is the largest in Arizona. The moral is self suggestive.
