Advice is one of the cheapest things In the world. It's as free as the air. No matter what vour troubles may be, just let it be known and advice will come piling in. The old maid knows how to rear children, the bachelor knows just how a wife should be handled, and even a bald-headed drug gist can sell hair tonic and get away with it but the advice you seek, not the kind that is volunteered, is the kind you want. We are not a volunteer in the advice business, but If you are a patron of ourbank and ask advice on financial matters we will be glad to help you in any way we can.
