And never was a better work done

and that success could not be
ittainert by working in the "hit-orniss"

present.
Most of the Chambers of Comnerce

The department of agriculture is
o-day doing more than distribute

and, consequently, have their

usliiess organizations are stretching
ieir resources to the limit in the
ad scramble for factories, pay very
ttle attention, if any, to the. necestv

The New Idea of
Co-Operation
The big idea in modern business is co-operation
between groups of individuals as well as individuals of ^
a group. The groceryman, the hardware dealer, the
manufacturer, the farmer, and the bank can all co-operate
with the result that this city will be more prosperous
and its finances more stable.
Intelligent co-operation with all our customers has
been responsible for the growth of this bank. We are
in business for profit, but we aim to get it through
unselfish service to all our depositors, regardless of the
- . .. .. .. . ....
size ot their accounts, rather than through a seirisn
solicitation of deposits.
Talk with us about your business and financial prob
lems.
