MR. DEPOSITOR:
We invite you to Deposit your funds
in this bank for the reason that all depositors
| are protected by the Depositors’ Guarrantee
Fund of the State of Nebraska.
| That the Deposits are amply protected
in State Banks was exemplified in the failure
of the State Savings Bank of Superior, Ne
p braska, a few months ago. Shortly after the
bank closed the depositors were paid in full,
together with interest up to the time the bank
suspended payment. *
At the same time the First National
Bank of Superior failed and up to this time
the depositors have not received a cent, and
prospects of ever receiving a substantial por- f
tion of their deposits are not very bright.
The harvest of the farmers and stock
men is now at hand and they will soon be dis
posing of their products and will want to de
posit their surplus funds.
Kindly keep this bank in mind, as this
is the only bank in O’Neill operating under the
Guarrantee Law of the State of Nebraska.
