PROTECTION
is something that all of us have to
seek sooner or later in our lives.
Money gives protection when all
other things fail; therefore every
one should open
A SAVINGS ACCOUNT
and prepare for the uncertainty of
the future. Our bank solicits your
account, no matter how small the
deposit may be. Start your account
with us today and make it grow.
REMEMBER
you have the protection of the Guar
antee Fund of the State of Nebraska.
