The Bank of Murdock
The province of a bank is not to make itself an exclusive
nioneyniaking institution tor its stockholders, but ,to likewise serve
in the best possible manner the interests of the entire community.
When a bank shall have failed to do this, it is not furfilling
the sphere of its intended usefulness.
Certainly, a bank should make money, but to look after the
welfare of the entire community is one of the obligations placed
upon it its officers being placed in the peculiar position whereby
they are best enabled of all others to serve the community.
This bank is here for the service it can render to the people
of this community and by this we mean, all the people of the
countryside irrespective of whether they are patrons of the bank
or not. tor we realize that when all the people prosper, and they
should do just that, this bank will share that prosperity.
Let us all work together for a better Murdock and commun
ity, and for the permanent prosperity of our neighbors and ourselves.
