THE MAGNIFICENT BUILDING OF A NOTABLE INSTITUTION THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK, OF CAMDEN, S. C. Opens the Doors of Its New Home ? a Structure That Adorns the City of Camden and Stands as the Logical Result of a Successful and Highly Creditable Career. Wo point with par donable pride to our new business home, not only because it is a mas terpiece in architectual design and execution but because the confi dence and support of the business community ? the general public of both town and country, have made it possible. When this institution was established in 1904, and iater, in 1908, con verted into a National Rank, throwing around it all the safeguards known to the banking world, it was our pur pose to render a service typifying our concep tion of modern banking principles and the best banking methods. Wo have clung to an ideal and not a theory. No lines have been drawn ? no unjust distinction.^ made. Regardless of the size .of the individ ual account, large or small, (and none is too small for our attention) we have labored to serve all with the sarin painstaking effort, the same consideration with due regard at all times for the rights and privi leges of every patron. Our watchword has been constructive to-op erative service. And wo think that I host1 we j servo value our aims aiul ef-j fort-s. Their patronage, their i trust and their moral support; have speeded our ambitions. J Above all else, it has been ? 1 and it always will be ? our pur ? po.M* to carefully weigh every propostion on its merits and1 in accordance with the funda mental principles of good bank-: ing. On this reciprocal policy stands t he safety of our cus- : tomers and tlu-ir deposit.-. and on it rest*, in turn, the safety and continued *ucce? of the bank. This new banking home therefore means that vs ?? have kept the faith. That we have V? e. feel, merited the confidence reposed in us. On thi-j record and in view of even better ser vice u e are now prepared to offer, the continued patronage of our customers and especial ly those not yet with u*- N so licited . One of the safest guide> to the future is the past The P'irst National Bank of Cam den ? the only national bank in Kershaw County ? has been an inspirational success because of the ideals of it-* founders: their enterprise and zeal in safeguarding the interests and rights of its clientele The saint* polic ies and principles | that have so far shaped the j course of this institution will i continue to guide its destinies. ; In our new and spacious home; we are prepared to serve you i to even better advantage. We have every facility for taking care of your business. There i> not a banking house in the State or elsewhere that will strive more diligently toward prompt and efficient service. And when we speak of service it is in no general, abstract We mean something .very definite. We mean that ; uui will receive personal, in dividual attention ? that we vwll familiarize ourselves with | .special conditions surrounding ; your proposition and business; that v. e will confer with you ; it nd giv e you gratis the full | benefit of our advice and ex ; perience on any problem that ! might better be solved through j ' our assistance. j Situated as we are in the center of the business section of Camden, we are. within1 reach of all. The handsome marble banking room of our new building offers every com fort and convenience. A fire proof and burglar-proof vault with 100 safety deposit boxes make your deposits and securi ties absolutely safe. Ami let us remind you that our staff is always at your service. You may expect from every one connected with this bank prompt, courteous attention. To the public generally is extended a cordial invitation J to come and inspect our homo. We believe every citi- ; zcn of Camden and Kershaw' County will take a personal, pride in this commodious and ; modern structure; that he willj see in it a vast stride our eom-j m unity has made not only in! the construction of this bank building, but in civic develop- i ment. And we want you who' have made it possible, and ev ery one in the community, to share with us its benefits and especially the spirit of satis-, faction and pride that we. its, builders feel, in this achieve-' ment.

His days are full of ghosts, but there is one thing which, will please him? one thing fhat would make hiui smile and enjoy a few min utes happiness. , That, pleasing thing would- -he for him to hear that you. Mr. Voter, cast your vote for Cole l<. Itlcufte. the avowed friend of the Kaiser. If you want to make thv Kaiser smile vo^e, for Itlea.se. Cole I,. Mease has publicly criticised Wood row Wilson. He has said " that President Wilson will have to answer for the American blood being spilled. What do you think of that? ' bi the. other hand Blease has. never been heard to utter a word against < Germany or the Kaiser and taking these two things together the Kaiser krniws Blease is at least his aid if not his friend. It would please the Kaiser to know that South Carolinians who had sons and kinsmen lin the American Army had cast their vote for a man who would deliberately take the weft poti out of our boys hands. Yes it would l?!ea?ie the Kaiser and make him smile. Are you going to make the Kaiser smile or will you be 100 per cent Ameri can and gouge bim in the other eye by casting your vote for N. It. Dial? The hoys in France will be watching the bulletin board in South Carolina j and when the vote is published they will know what you have done. 'Now. Mr. Voter, don't make them ashamed of von. and don't let the Kaiser smile. Beulali News. Tin- County Sunday School Conven tion was entertuined by the Beulah and Ml.
