suld doposL to be made on or boforo March Dth., The Platte
Valley State Bank contrlbuto to the depositor $1.00, tho
number of depositors from any ono family to be unlimited,
nnd no rpstrlct'ons to bo placed upon ago.
In fact, my principal object Is to oncourago deposits

I have In mind nn officer of a bank in Chicago who
made a practice of paying out of his own pocket the sum
of $2.00 for u savings bank book each time ho felt like mak
ing a gift to the child of a friend or relative. As n result
of this practical encouragement, a largo numbor, mnnv of
