THE BANK OF
POLITE SERVICE

A bank is a business that pros
pers to the extent that it caters
to its customers, just as much as
a cigar stand.
A bank that renders service,
that pleaseS it's customers, will
prosper and grow in size by
reason of the popular approval
of the people who patronize it.
Confidence, respect and good
will are the results of this kind
of service. -.
The State National Bank en-
joys the good will of its pa
irons, and its growth in this
community has been steady
during the years it has been in
business. 1t grows larger and
stronger with each year, as it's
friends and supporters increase
and advertise it's service.
Small deposits have made this
bank busy place. Their vol
ume is making it a prosperous
bank. You may open a check
ing account here with $50, or
