It’s harvest time. The sr^wy cotton is being gathered and the golden corn garnered. The farmers are exchanging the products of their fields for the coin an currency of the republic. Some will pay their bills in cash and carry home their surplus money to be kept in more or less insecure places. The farmer who is a business man deposits his money in the bank, pays his bills with checks and has no . worry as to the security of his surplus. The farmer who does this and establishes a business standing at a bank has no difficulty in securing a loan when he needs one. This bank makes a specialty of giv ing satisfactory service to farmer customers and invites the accounts of farmers who have not been in the habit of handling their funds thru a bank. The farmer who does so never regrets making the change from the unbusinesslike cus tom of the many farmers who do not have checking accounts. Take our advice, Mr. Far mer. It’s good advice.
