49 Years Of Uninterrupted Safety

THE F. H. Smith Company today enters
upon its forty-ninth year of uninterrupted
safety to investors. 1t will be a memorable
year for us, because it will mark the erection
of our new home-a million-dollar office
building, on the site of the one which we now
occupy. in the heart of Washington's fnan-
cial district.
But the year which has just ended is like
wise memorable, for it marked the growth in
our business which makes enlarged quarters
for our banking-rooms and general Offices
necessary. 1t was the most successful year in
the Company's history.
