Coupon Starts Deposit

The First National Bank, of Miller,
8. d., a United States depository, has
worked u a plan in which it accepts
Liberty Bonds for safe keeping,
whether brought in by a customer. or
a stranger, provided a savings &C.
count of $1.oO or more is opened.
The system is an integral part of
the savings department, In that the
bond deposited is credited in the back
Of the pass book. When coupons are
due the bank will credit them to the
depositor's account. An account may
be opened by tearing OF a coupon of
the bond, whether due or not and de-
posting 1t with the bank. In that
case the coupon is credited as cash
and the bond noted in the back of the
~passbook. These bonds will be in
sured against BURGLARY.
September 18th is Government pay
day to all holders of Az per cent
bonds and this bank believes that it
is somebody's business to give hold
ers of small coupon bonds some meas
ure of protection.
