OF VIEW

Some people, we fear, look
upon a bank as a place
where a few rich old
dodgers" keep their money.
Others not so fully preju-
diced, may think only large
accounts are wanted and
that this bank would not
care for their business.
If your point of view has
been anythingtlik this, we
want TO correct it. We
want you to feel that this
bank wants and appreci-
ates your business-large
or small-and that an ar
count here will be of great
practical value to you.
