To our customers and friends of Barnwell. and Barnwell County;
You will observe that the Home Banks deposits have increased during the year 1923 over NINETY THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARSmorethanthey werein !922.or equal to a gain o around EIGHTY-FIVE PER CENT. This being true, there are
many reasons for this wonderful increase. First, the Home Bank has helped more small farmers in Barnwell County this year to
grow a crop than any Bank in the County. Of course, we have accommodated many large farmers, but we saw the real need of
especially helping the small farmer.* This to our mind caused lots of the labor to stay on the farms, who would have been forced
to leave.
Fhen again with our safe and efficient method of banking, being always ready to accommodate with courtesy and despatch,
has caused this very large increase of deposits, and with the Prospects of an average cotton crop, the Home Bank looks for much
larger gams the balance of this year, and we invite you to become a depositor or borrower of the Home Bank. If in the Savings
irtment we pav you 5 per cent calculated every three months We appreciate the busmewa you are

Food for Thought
The Inhospitable Merchant.
A ciliien who w*s carrying an exprens package from a city mail order
house, was accosted by a local merchant. “Why didn’t you buy that bill
of goods from me?" he asked. "I could have saved you the express,
and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps
pay the taxes and builds up this'locality.” With characteristic frank
ness, the citizen replied: “Why don’t you patronize your home paper and
%
advertise? I read it and didn’t know you had the goods I have here,
nor do I ever see your name in the paper inviting me to come to your
store.”—The Lake W’orth (Fla.) Leader.
