EFFICIENCY

Efficiency is service with the kinks ironed out
1t is business minus blunders; results minus
grets painstaking capacity for detail.
The term has been sadly overworked of late. The
German brand was widely advertised as the real
thing until several million men died to expose the
fallacy of efficiency without ethics Results OBJ
tanned in defiance of the rights of all others won't
stick. The end does not justify the means.
The kind of banking efficiency you get depends
upon the standard set by your bank. At this bank
we aim to render complete satisfaction and If you
don't get it we want to be told about it forthwith.
Efficiency is not thing of mushroom growth
it is product of years of experience We try to
avoid mistakes in the future by correcting the er-
rors of the past If hard work. honest intentions,
sincere appreciation fair dealing esprit de corps and
ultra modern equipment make for efficiency, then
we, at this bank, feel that have good reason to
ask for your banking business, and the privilege of
a better acquaintance

The press and many OF the public
