Character in Banking
Character is the foundation of confidence. Con
fidence is the foundation of banking. lit follows,
therefore, that a financial institution to be suc
cessful must be of such a character as to merit
the confidence of the community it serves.
To obtain this confidence a bank's dealing with
its depositors must be on such a plane as to
form the basis of mutual respect. Whatever
profit a bank makes must be alone with and
not out of its depositors.
Small As Well As Large Depositors
Welcomed
There must be no discrimination between small
and large depositors. A wise banker appreci
ates the possibilities of and the necessity for,
the small account. As a semi-public institution
it is part of a bank's duty to encourage every
one to save in proportion to their income. Ob
viously, therefore, the small depositor is a crea
tor of capital fully as much as the man of more
means.
The Farmers State Bank believes in these fun
damental principles of banking. It looks upon
itself as the servant of the people whose duty
it is to safeguard their savings and to afford
credit to such individuals, concerns and organ
izations as are deserving of it.
Farmers State Bank
"Service Worthy of a Strong State Bank. "
