Checkmated at every turn in their
campaign to put the Bank of North
Dakota out of business, the "Desper-
ate Ambroses' of the |. V. A. are now
threatening thru the kept sheets to
stage financial crisis" in North Da-
kota, but, from dozens of letters that
are pouring into the Bank from all
sections of the State, there are many
bankers who strongly disagree with
those would-be-rule ruin despera-
does.
Logan County Bank says: "In re-
ply to your letter of the 23rd inst.
will say that we are now carrying 86
per cent of our reserve with the Bank
of North Dakota and intend to do so
and will try to cooperate in every
way possible"
A Stutsman County Bank; eve
shall endeavor to increase our reserve
at your bank within the next few days.
Your bank helped US during the sum-
mer when we were hard pressed for
funds and we sure appreciated it,"
A Bowman County Bank: "We GER
tainly appreciate the manner in which
you have taken care of US during the
summer and fall, and we will recipro-
cate by giving you as good an account
as we possibly can."
A Ward County bank: $50 far as
this bank is concerned, we do not
hesitate to say that your bank has
been direct benefit"
An Eddy County bank: 1--WE thor
oughly appreciate the generous treat
ment accorded us, by the Bank Of
North Dakota during the past year,
and as fast as conditions permit we
want to show our appreciation thru
our daily business"
McHenry County Bank: 1--WE hope
that all banks will give you their full
est cooperation so it will not be nec-
essary to make any further withdraw

Intends Carrying Balance
A Grand Forks County Bank: "You
will note that we have carried nice
little balance with you all the time
and it is our intention in the future to
do the same as our business relations
have been very pleasant and we GER
tainly will continue to do business
with your good bank"
A Cass County Bank: "You have
handled public funds to our satisfac-
tion and we are pleased to cooperate

ceived and assure you that we hope to
keep a large share of the reserve in
the Bank of North Dakota"
A Mclean County Bank: "We as
sure you of our appreciation Of our
treatment from the Bank of North
Dakota, and will at all times cooper
ate with you"
A Williams County Bank: "Let me
assure you that we have very kind
feeling toward the Bank of North d.
kota and just as soon as matters ease
up a little we surely intend to recip-
rocate for the liberal treatment we
have received"
Another Williams County Bank: "1t
is our intention to increase this bal
ance and to maintain larger re-
serve.
A Burleigh County Bank: "I am en-
closing herewith our Minneapolis
Draft in form of remittance which
you may place to the credit Of our ac-
count with your bank. Will increase
this as fast as I find that we can, as
collections come in during the coming
month"
A Bottineau County Bank: 'Will
say that it was our intention and is
yet our intention to carry a good
strong reserve with your bank this
fall"
A Towner County Bank: 1--WE ap-
preciate the fact that we have been
treated literally, and trust the same
condition may continue"
An Emmons County Bank: 1--WE
have transferred about $1,000 Of our
reserve to your good institution and
in a day or two we will make addi-
tional transfers"
A Morton County Bank: 'Tf your
bank had not been able to borrow that
81 100000 I don't see what these
banks out here would have DONE"
Bank Stabilizes Credit.
So, Now, if any banker comes tell
ing you he cannot help you, because,
''The Bank Of North Dakota has taken
away all public money and ew are,
therefore, unable to meet local re-
quirements", as it is reported many
Of the political bankers are doing, ask
ask him to prove it. Ask him, "If that
| is true, then why did the bankers
write those letters to the Bank Of
North Dakota?" For the Bank Of
North Dakota is cooperating with
other banks only in order to make It
possible to finance farmers and other
bank customers on the easiest p0ssi-
BILE terms-to bring about condition
where the PEOPLES CREDIT would
be used FOR the benefit Of the People
