First National Bank / of Loup City. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $50,000 “Sow an Act and Reap a Habit; Sow a Habit and You Reap a Character; Sow a Character and You Reap a Destiny.” No weightier truth was ever uttered. It is as true in the finan cial realm as in the moral or social. . Look about you and spot the men who are doing things worth while—men of fixed habits and character--and you will be able to trace the line of their development back to habits formed in boyhood.*No great finan cier ever evolved from a spendthrift boy. Here is a point no parent can afford to evade. If you desire your child to be a figure in the business world, you cannot start him on the way too young. The best of all is that the very habits which make for sound business development are the best kind of character builders. We take a special interest in children’s and young people's ac counts, and cheerfully explain banking points to them. W. F. MASON. L. HANSEN, C. H. RYAN, President. Cashier. Ass’t Cashier.
