Last week was Children's Week at
our local bank The local school
children as well as those from the
surrounding schools, including Bunk
er HILL Hurffville, Barnsboro, Mount
Zion, knights Run, Clem's Run, Rich
wood and Evan, were entertained by
the bank officials. The children and
teachers were brought here and taken
back in big automobiles. They were
shown all over the bank, allowed to
handle gold coins and thousand dol
lar notes and were taken over to
Harmon Dilks' drug store and treated
to ice cream The officials thought
the pleasure and educative influences
would cost no more than certain
forms of advertising and would prove
more beneficial to all concerned. We
don't know who originated the idea
but it was as nifty a bit of sensible
advertising as we ever heard of.
