The Davis Family. !
Perhaps there are young men in this
community who are thinking of quit
ting school and going to work.
C If you do, you will never know how
foolish you are until it is too late to
go back. Finish your school and equip
yourselves for the very biggest posi
tion in life.
CJThis bank believes that there is
nothing too fine in education for the
boys and girls of this community. If
you are thinking of quitting school talk
to some of our officers.
