citation and editor of the Palatka
News ought to be pretty good judge
of what constitutes good bank ad.
vertisement and of what bank NAV
properly advertise. The following
from his paper is therefore worth
more than passing notice:
why shouldn't bank advertise the
advantages of its city and section
is there any organized business more
vitality interested in the development
of city's natural advantages, or in
the building up Of it's section? These
are just some thoughts which were
suggested by seing an advertisement
OF the First National Bank of Pensaco-
la in The Journal of that city one day
last week. This advertisement filed
space of IA inches-in four columns
and contained picture of Pensaco-
las handsome new $I50,000 passen
ger station, together with city statis-
Tics Of growth and many and cogent
reasons for expecting a BOOM That

chat will put dividends into the hands
Of its stockholders and make the soil
cary places in the old town blossom
as the rose. The First National Bank
81 Pensacola will thrive and point
he broad highway to thrift for
others.
President Russell's argument is not
only we'll stated, but his logic is with
out flaw. 1t requires public spirited
men to build city and they are the
men who are building Pensacola.
In this connection we note an edi-
torial expression from the Orlando
Sentinel which has to do with the
other kind of men of which every
community, Pensacola included, al
ways has a few. OF these men the
Sentinel says:
"lf rhere Is any thing on cartn that
gives US a longing for eternal rest and
deep, damp solitude it is the man who
comes to a town or county, builds up
/ big paying business, grows rich and
then squats down on the gold like
len on a doorknob, and is too stingv

he folds them up and walks for fear
he will lose tail feather or ruffle

"The kind of men Who build up a
town and county ana enjoy life and
make the best citizens, are the en-
,erpriSing, energetic and liberal men.
who believe in living and letting 9th
ers live; and who do not, when thew
get dollar, squeeze it until the God
dess of Liberty feels like she had on
a corset. Such squeezing causes hard
times and stops the circulation of the
American eagle.
eff it were not for our 5road-gaug
ed, enterprising men it would he IN
possible to build up prosperous city"
This is an accurate description of
the kind of men who are holding Pen
'acola back just as they do every com.
munity, and they stand out in marked
contrast to the men described in the
Palatka News's editorial who are
cushing the city ahead. Pensacola
mas both kinds, but the enterprising
kind predominant.
And, as the News says, why
5houldn't bank do just what the
Pensacola bank is doing?
