Honest Merchandising has Earned
Fine Reputation for This Firm.
Beaver Dam. Ky.

Natives Of Cromwell. Kentucky
Hessrs. T. +. and B. F. Cooper spent
their early life there, but about -four
years ago they decided to move 10
the thriving city Of Beaver Dam and
open a general merchandise estab-

their business career here they have

chandising that has caused their bus
mess to grow and expand by leaps
and bounds. As the saving has it,
"they have arrived" They carry
big lines OF shoes for men and wom-
en-, mems furnishings, ladies' ready

Since that time Mr.. Leach. always
alert to business opportunities, has
added several lines of shoes and a

Columbus Realized His Dream and
H. l. Leach Has Come Into
His Own.
Beaver Dam. Ky.

The value of an idea depends of
course on how much common sense
it contains and on how much energy
and push are used to develop it
properly. Columbus had an idea that
the world was round and that vast
new terrritoies lay undiscovered to
the west of his world. Everybody is
familiar with the many trials and
set backs Columbus experienced be-
fore he finally received the backing
that enabled him to plant the flag
of Spain on the shore Of the new
world. He accomplished this because
he had an idea and plenty Of "pep
and ginger" with which to carry it
through.
Several years ago Mr.. II. l.. Leach,
Of this city. conceived an idea and

articles that Mr.. King will offer as
ideal Christmas gifts. 1t is almost a
safe bet that in every household
there are defective clocks, they either
need regulating or they are worn out

Cleanliness is next to Goodness
somebody said once and thousands
upon thousands have repeated that
saying with growing conviction of its
truth ever since. Wholesome food
must be clean and right-there is the
secret of the great success as a food
distributor attained by Mr.. George w.

Grocery. He has been in business
two years and during that time has
devoted his energies to conducting
modern grocery; to caring for his
customers wants in the most salts
factory way and to keeping at all
times his stock fresh and clean.
Besides groceries, both staple and
fancy, Mr.. Brunton carries complete
lines Of cured meats and fresh coun-
try produce. butter eggs and lard.
Then too, he is the agent for the cele-
brated Ballard Flour. made in Louis

April 1917 was a month pregnant
with pig events. Changes transpir-
ed both nationally and locally the eff

the people of Beaver Dam. On the
second day of the month the United
State declared war on Germany and
stepped into a conflict determined to
see aueocracy wiped from the map
and Justice done to the lowly as well
as the mighty nations of the earth.
And in April Mr.. ]. w. Bennett and
Mr.. Luther Chinn, both gentlemen
widely known through this county,
established blacksmithing and auto

BEAVER DAM DEPOSIT BANK.
Strong Institution That Enjoys the
Conscience Of al 1.-The People.
Beaver Dam, Ky.

DtdNcT DdiuS N.Y.
In staying qualities the famous
rock Of Gibraltar is piker when
compared with the Beaver Dam De-
post Bank. Every wave of the briny
deep that washes against the giant
rsck has its corroding influence and
consequently leaves it's granite wall
just so much weaker. while every
panieky financial wave that has
threatened our country has spent its
fury with ne effect on the safe. sane
and reliable Beaver Dam Deposit
Bank that has weathered all storms
sriumphantiy since its establishment
in 1880.
This ssod bank enjoys the fun con-
faenee Of the banking public and no
where in the United States can be
sevaa a net IF raen- who stand higher
in the estimate Of the people and who
furnish safer or more conservative
banking administration. Organized
vita capita; of 81, ooc this bank
has doubled its business in the last
ten years. In June, 1907, just de-
eade past, the bank had its capital Of
325, 1000, a surplus of s18,500 and de-
posits aggregating $3.50 ,Ss7.97, MAX
ing its total resources s286,5S7.97.
Bear these figures in mind while you
read the following statement OF the
banks condition on November 5,
1917: Capital $4,000, surplus $685.
500, deposits s399,312.96, and total
resources $466,569.o7. Isn't that
a wonderful showing! Doesn't
that comparison bespeak nobly of the
capabilities of the banks officers and
directors? This tremendous growth
and expansion was made possible be-
cause Of three pertinent essentials.
.First-the ability, far-sightedness
and financial engineering qualities OF
its Officers and directors; second
the financial responsibility Of each of
the officers and directors; and third
the moral character and high
standing Of each of the gentlemen IN
the above named groups.
The President, Mr.. l. P. Barnard,
is known throughout the State as a
man of great moral worth and bust
ness integrity and as a financier has
few equals. Mr.. John II. Barnes,
cashier, stands high in the banking
world as one whose judgment is UNI
impeachable. He is courteous, atten-
tive and kind to all who seek his adj
vice, and in giving advice in his ca
pacity as cashier he is careful to
safeguard the interests of his friends
as well as remain loyal to the great
institution he represents. The assis-
tant cashier, Mr.. c. p. Austin, is an
able aid to the superior officers and
is too well known as citizen of eX-
emplary worth to need any comment.
Mr.. Frank Barnes, who has charge OF
the collection department, and is
paving teller for the bank, has all
the earmarks of, and is rapidly de-
veloping into very popular banker.
However, all in all, the best and
most lasting tribute that can be paid
The Beaver Dam Deposit Bank is its
undisputable claim to progressive
ness and sound business policies sub

nous growth it has attained in the
