Before the introduction Of Rural Free
delivery Of mails in this county, it was in
convenient for many citizens Of the county to
transact their banking business in Marion.
On account of that inconvenience, many
OF this countys citizens began to do business
with banks located in other counties.
The daily delivery Of mail from Marion
to the homes Of almost all parts OF the coan-
ty, removes that inconvenience, and this bank
has many patrons whose accounts are very
active, but who seldom find it necessary to
pay personal visit to this bank. The mail
brings in their business one day, and delivers
them the banks receipt at their gate, on the
next day.
1t is the purpose of this advertisement to
reach such OF the citizens Of this county as
may be continuing to transact their banking
business with banks located outside this
county, and invite them to patronize the in
situations Of their own county.
The Banks Of this county, and their
owners, pay their taxes in this county; they
help to build and maintain the roads and
bridges that you use; they help to maintain
the schools in which your children are being
educated. In these matters they are partners
with every tax payer in this county.
Money deposited in the banks here may
be borrowed by your neighbor for the de.
velopment OF his business, and in helping him
to his success, it he'll s to increase our coun.
tvs resources
Banks located in other counties do not
help you pay taxes or maintain your schoosl
but they use the money they make from your
patronage in devolpins TIE resources Of some
other county.
Unless outside banks can offer you some
facility or security that your home banks
cannot offer YOU do You not believe that 10y
atty to your home institutions should cause
you to prefer to patronize them?
Some men have an idea that National
bank is more secure than State bank, and
for that reason hunt up National bank to
transact their business The facts are; Ma
tional bank is not adapted to the needs OF
rural communities. No National Bank
could lend your thousand dollars on ten
thousand dollar farm. because the law tor
bids.
No National Bank could make you an
offer for real estate notes, for the law forbids
this kind of investments for them.
Your home banks can serve you in this
way, because they are not restricted by the
laws governing National Banks.
National Banks are required by law
to keep as much as twenty-five per cent
of their deposits in cash and on deposit in
other banks.
On April 1st this bank had seventy
one per cent of It's deposits In cash
and In other banks.
Some men have an idea that large
bank is safer to do business with than
small bank. The safety Of any bank de-
ponds on the character and business ability
of the men who manage its affairs.
small field may be more carefully
cultivated than large one, SO small bank
may be more carefully managed, more eco
nomically conducted, and is generally. more
liberal in its dealings with its patrons.
If you are disposed to patronize your
home banks, but are not quite ready TO make
the change now because you owe the other
bank, come in and borrow from US the money
you owe them, and pay them off and let
them depend in the future on their homo
people for their patronage.
If you doubt our ability to serve you
perfectly, ask your neighbor who dos his
business with us, be can. and will gladly tell
You how we do business
