Assets
That Interest Everyone!

What are the greatest assets of every
community? They are the children of
the community.
There is but one way to make the most
of these assets and that is by education.
Keep them in school and start their
economic education by opening an ac
count for them in this bank. Teach them
to save and they will have the principal
element of success ingrained in them.
We welcome Children's accounts.
