Every year some firms who have ventured upon the stormy sea of commercial life found hidden reefs of rock which wreck their ship and leave their business a dreary waste. They have failed to study the situation and have venteured upon propositions which involved considerable investment, without first knowing if the things were safe. Better know that your proposition is "water tight' before you risk your all on it. The banking house that is conservative and looks after the welfare of the community is the safest insti tution to obtain the knowledge necessary to make you safe when needed. The Bank of Murdock, which has done business in this community for the past thirty-five years is the best place to get the knowledge and service required in a safe commercial enterprise. Always at your service. The Bank of Murdock Murdock, Nebraska "The Bank where You Feel at Home" HENBY A. TOOL, President J. E. GUTHMANN, Vice-Pres. II. A. GUTHMARN, Cashier si !
