Safe Banking and Business!
With a steady hand we have endeavored to face
the situation in the business and financial world during
the times which are just now vanishing into the past.
We are now at the threshold of a better day; we
are rapidly passing the crucial time and are entering
into a time of prosperity. The products of agriculture
are appreciating in price, and this is placing the farmer
in better condition.
Let each one bear in mind this is the time for con
servative and energetic action.
We believe in better times, and let us all try to
make them permanent when the' arrive. We are here
to render the best service possible in the making of this
prosperity for all, and making it lasting.
