CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

There are three ways to shop at Christmas time,-A Charge Account, Pay Cash As Go or Pay-By Bank Check The first method IS eX cellent PROVIDED you can pay bank check later on The second method sounds sens ble but is not always practical, convenient or de- sirable Bills paid with cash sometimes turn up later unpaid. It isn't pleasant to pay bills sec ond time Even when receipt has been given unless it has been preserved and can be produced, the burden of proof lies with you. The third me- thod, the Pay-By Bank Check way, is the best way,-because the check you write in payment IS a complete record, to whom, when, amount. The other persons endorsement is a receipt. The banks PAID stamp is evidence of final payment and the cancelled check returned by the bank Is good evidence in any court in the land, We sug- gest that you open your account here and do your Christmas shopping with our bank checks.

HAPPINESS A DUTY

To be happy at Christmas time is Duty. The sure way to be happy is to make others hap py Have you heard it said, 'Christmas is only for the rch?" It is not true. It never was. Christ born in manager, of poor parentage, brought true happiness into the world. The wise Men of the East who brought their gifts, sought no gifts in return favors. The gifts we be- stow upon others this year will bring pleasure and happiness only when given in the spirit of unsel- fishness. The unwritten law of compensation Tn life says, We get what we give" The same mea- sure of joy and happiness comes to us that we give to others. Christmas is at hand. It is a time to be happy by making others happy And happiness is not measured by the money value of gift so much as by the spirit in which it is given. Let us all do our Duty and be Happy. This bank wishes you the Merrest Christmas. Good Cheer and Happiness.
