He has it in his power (moved by selfishness) to refuse help to the other man, while at the same time he must depend on him or he cannot himself exist. In proportion as the spirit of co opera tion is practiced, the community grows and prospers. This bank cannot exist except for the co-operation of the people who dwell here, nor can any other business institution. Should all the people here decide to patronize m il order banks and catalog houses, all the banks and business houses here would have to "shut up shop,” and then how quicklv real estate val ues hereabouts would imita'e the walls of .lericho and “come tumbling down.” These are truths every man should think about when he contemplate.- either of the things named above. This bank solicits no business to the detriment of the customer. When you can get better service, higher rate of interest, more courteous treatment in some distant city bank than we offer you, we shall not question your right to give them your business, but until that time (and thereafter also) protection for your own interests should prompt you to keep your money at home.
