BANK OPENING

The Farmers and Merchants Ma
tional Bank of Eureka will open
Its doors to the public on Monday,
July 5th.
AS the city is observing the 5th
and 6th ASA holiday the bank will be
open on those days only from 9 a. m.
until I'm. The regular banking
hours will be from 8 a. m. until 3 d.
m, except on Saturdays when the
hours will be from 8 a. m. until 1 D.
m. On all legal holidays that are OBJ
served by either Government or State,
the bank will be closed unless busi-
ness verifies that we keep open half
day.
AS we all know, the outside ranch
ers make 1t a special point to be in
the city to attend any celebration that
is planned by the boys on these days,
and they might have some banking
business to attend to, and we are glad
to state there will be some one on
duty on these legal holidays to attend
to their wants. If they have any bank
ing business.
The bank will be run on a COM
mercial and savings basis. The COM
mercial department will take care of
all small and large checking accounts
and see that every one receives the
same courteous treatment.
The savings department is one that
demands a lot of explanation, and 1t
| is very hard to make 1t explicit
through the columns of newspaper;
SO those desiring to open savings ac-
counts will be given full explanation
| of same on the opening of their ac-
count. There are two different ways
OF opening a savings account, one
form is of the savings pass-book, in
which the interest is computed twice
year and compounded. The inter-
est dates being namely July 1st and
| January 1st. The other form of saw
| ings account is what is known as
| Time Certificate, which carries at a
rate of four per cent from date of is
sue, until six months or more has
| passed. from deposit date. This time
certificate does not compound its in
| terest and is not subject to check. AS
has been said before, there are a
great many little details which are
hard to explain at this time, but we
will be glad to explain to any one
calling at the bank.
The opening of the bank means
much to the city of Eureka, and
| shows that Eureka is going ahead in
stead of backwards, as contrary to
some of the reports that have been
heard throughout the State.
We all know what Eureka was in
the early days, and 1t looks very
much to us as though Eureka has
come into its own and will again
| show to the State of Nevada that she
can outshine in business and prosper
| ity, even to cities that have surpassed
her in the last few years.
We need the cooperation of the
people of Eureka and the surround
| ing country to make the bank a sue
cess, and we trust and hope that we
will have their entire support in this
undertaking, and make the name of
Eureka, Nevada, and the Farmers
and Merchants National Bank not
only known throughout the State of
Nevada, but throughout the whole OF
| the United States and Europe.
Lots of people may wonder how
the name of Eureka, Nevada, and the
Farmers and Merchants National
Bank can be brought to the attention
of the banking interests of Europe
and its people. There are great
many people in this country who
have relatives in the old country, who
are transferring money to them at
different times. In this way the
above names are broughtdo their at
tention through foreign drafts that
are sent for exchange. The foreign
exchange department of the bank will
always be ready to cooperate and
give it's personal attention to those
desirous of sending money to any
place throughout the old continent.
There is in course of construction
in the bank building on Main street
vault that will be equal in strength
and security to any bank. When
this vault is finished we invite the
public of Eureka and the surround
ing country to inspect it.
We wish to thank the people for
the support we know we will receive
from them, and our one aim is to
give them the best of attention and
courtesy at all times.
Yours very truly,
THE FARMERS AND
MERCHANTS NATIONAL BANK
