of the State of Nebraska?
Has it proven to you that it is able and willing to take care or"
you ami loan you iiiney in "hard times" as well as when money
is plentiful?
Are its officers ami directors persons of ample financial means,

Io the oiiicers and directors own the majority of the Capital
Stock in the bank, so that by their investment they are sufficiently

ciated? If your bank meets with the above conditions, we
suggest that you continue doing your business where you

which has proved to have made good.
P.ut should you be considering making a change in
yuiir banking connections, we shall Ik? glad to have you
