In the Matter
 of Investments
PAGE SEVEN

In the matter of investments the officers of bank are of great assistance to depositors.
 Take for example the recent developments in the Ponzi case. It is safe to say that not one of the thousands of investors in Ponzis im- possible scheme consulted reputable banker before placing the money in the glitterng fake.
 Had they done so, the bankers would have pointed out the impossbity of the scheme, and saved the millions that were swept away.
 The officers of banking institution are not infalible, but they spend their lives delving in financial matters, and are therefore equipped to render assistance and give advise to those less we'll equipped to judge investment matters.
 Our officers are always glad to render assistance in the financial matters of customers.
