Savings Club of large proportions,

back to the section of the city in
which the bank is located. is the
opinion OF Vice President Leonard,
who sees the lower end OF Seventh
street as one OF the main avenues
Of traffic from which the com.

buildings and the present commercial
building in the district are pointed
out by Mr.. Leonard as evidences OF
the permanent business stability OF
this section Of the city.
It is q large store district and,
by reason Of its easy accessibility
from many sections of the city, it

dalton and it's present high position
in the banking world Of ths city

and the high quality Of its service
TO the public.
