1 TO OUR PATRONS: j
r~s :--=i=:
Success in your business depends on your ability, experience the
character of your farm and many other things.
Did you ever give consideration to the fact that a strong, friendly
connection with the Nebraska State Bank has been a mighty helpful thing ■
for many of your friends in Holt county.
rv=in: , 'jma
Of course, I do not know how you think of a Bank. Many people
satisfy themselves as to “safety” and let it go at that. As to security, you
know that all depositors in this Bank are protected by the DEPOSITORS’
GUARANTY FUND of the STATE OF NEBRASKA, which now
amounts to more than one million dollars.
There are other things besides safety to be considered in the ques
tion of your banking connections, and this Bank goes a long way in taking
care of its friends in business and personal service.
The largest business men in the greatest cities work in close touch
with their bankers. They consult their banker frequently and act on their
advice. That’s the way we are working with our friends, and right here
I want to say that it is not necessary to be a depositor in this Bank to be H _ ^
considered one of our friends.
If you have never been in our place of business, we want you to
consider this an invitation to call the next time you have an opportunity.
This will place you under no obligation. We will be glad to meet you per
sonally and this may lead to your advantage.
We hope to have the pleasure of seeing you.
Very truly yours,
1 NEBRASKA STATE BANK |

? Reasons Why Commerce Trucks 1
Are a Good Investment |
§J Incorporated in them are more Nationally Advertised units of recognized jp
H standing, possessing unquestionable performance records, than can be found j
H in any othgr make of truck built.
Here They Are:
jj Continental Red Seal Motor Spicer Universal Joints
Torbensen Rear Axle with Willard Storage Battery jj
■ Timken Bearings Zenith Carburetor jj
M Detroit Gear Co.’s Transmission Stewart Vacuum System
jg] Detroit Steel Products Springs Bijur Electric Generator
u Eiseman Magneto and Impulse Starter Champion Spark Plugs
Jacox Steering Wheel
and
| Our Own Design Radiator m
Adopted By Other Truck Manufacturers
The perfect co-ordination of these units to produce maximum power at jj
J| least operating cost is what makes the Commerce a good truck—better than ■
H any other of the same tonnage capacity. The relation of the component jj
Jj units to each other in Commerce construction is so well balanced that all jj
jj strains are equally distributed througout the working parts. jj ^
Because of this perfect balance Commerce rucks, built eight years ago jjg
H are still in service, going strong and producing profit for their owners.
Each one of the above units constitutes a reason why Commerce trucks p
HI deserve consideration, and the sum of them all, coupled with their extra- j|
■ ordinarily efficient co-ordination clinches our argument that Commerce j|
■ trucks are a good buy.
Thousands of owners in every line of industrial activity t estify to Com- jj
IB merce truck efficiency and all around dependability under the most severce =
Jj service conditions.
Buy a Commerce truck and your one to two ton haulage problem is jj
H solved for all time Call and we will tell you more about them.
