The American State Bank S
Growth, an Evidence
Of Success.

The American State Bank is
steadily growing, both in the amount
of deposits and the number of new
accounts.
During the past month a large
number of new depositcrs have
been added to it'slist: some of them
leading merchants, some substan-
tial farmers and others among the
thrifty class of Railroad people. All
of them DESTROYS of accumulatine
money for investments, for that
rainy day" and for future indie
pendence.
The Real Estate mortgage figures
prominently in the securities of this
bank and the directors prefer this
class of security tn all others.
What is the cause of the excel
lent growth of the American State
Bank? 1t is for the reason that
among the largest and thriftiest
farmers of Ben Hill are it's stock
holders, and it's customers. 1t is
universally admitted that the Farm
ers are the backbone of the nation
and add strength and backing to
any enterprise or institution with
which they are connected.
We want you to do business with
this bank for the reason that we
will GUARANTEE satisfaction in
all our business dealings. We will
attend to your wants to the best of
our ability and appreciate your &C.

HE SHOP WINDOWS

If you have any doubt about the approach of Christmas look in the shop windows. Ii you have gotten 1t into your mlnd that Christmas is doomed to die out, " visit the stores. If you are of the ciass that does not sec any sense in exchanging pre- sents, or in making presents, read the advertisements in the newspapers of the things which the merchants are offering as presents
 While some few people may abuse the Christmas season, or make. more trouble for themselves than $ necessary, the custom of making presents is rot only one of the most beautiful, but one of the most useful in our civilization. It makes the year better for the following twelve months, and in- jures no one. It enables many a person to pay in a way debts of gratitude which he would not know how to repay at any other time, and gives us an excuse to help others without wounding their feelings.
 But look in the shop windows and catch the spirit of the sea- son. It is an inspiring sight; it will do you good. And remem- Der this while looking-that no man has eyer yet been thrown in- to bankruptcy because of what he gave away-Southwest Ameri- can.
