,,rRST RANK & TRUST COMPANY :
RREAKS RECORD WITH DEPOSITS
over One Half Million Dollars Kept
hv Henderson County People in
Wen known institution.

The echoes of prosperity of the
rrosept summer season could never be
hotter seen than from a look at the
recent statement of tn, First Bank &
Trust company which reports COM
hines deposits of about 4520,00O 90.
This is the record for any bank ever
existing in old Henderson county.
That Henderson county is enjoying
prosperity of the most healthy variety
is clearly shown by the condition of
its banks. The First Bank & Trust
company is the oldest institution of it's
kind in the county and the directors
behind the bank are well seasoned and
influential business men. They are
men who not only look we'll after
their own affairs but take time to
look after the affairs of others-the
stockholders of the bank.
The officers of this bank are justly
proud of the last statement. They
have been working for a big increase
in the deposits and business of the
bank. The results of their efforts
are shown and they are happy.
Hendersonville is proud of such an
institution and no better proof of this
appreciation is needed than to witness
the steady stream of men women and
children customers going and coming
through the doors OF the bank during
the banking hours each day.
