The Conservative Banker i
in making loans must know to a certainty that hia ap
plicants or sureties are responsible and worthy of credit.
Likewise, the prudent depositor should know the
character and standing of the bank with which he deals.
The business reputation of our directors and the ex
perience and ability of our officers, with a record of years
of successful business is sufficient guarantee that the in
terests of every depositor will be carefully protected.
