Then the difference begins. One becomes a Social Dollar; the other a Hermit. If there are more of the Hermits than there are of the first kind, the community suffers and becomes finally poor in faith, in confidence and ability to acquire worldly goods. - .1- I II The Hermit Hollar / i .* The second dollar is a dangerous dollar. It is a Hermit Dollar. It never finds its way into the Bank. It shuts itself away from society in teapots, behind fireplaces, in odd nooks. It gives no service; hence it returns its owner no profit. Leave it alone for years and if you are able to find it at all, it is still only a dollar. Hermit Dollars never grow. And they keep their owners from growing. They hold back the community. They injure land values; discourage crops. l £ The Useful ^Dollar The first and useful dollar is the Sociable Dollar. It is deposited where it belongs and where alone it can work—in a help ful bank in its own community^ To protect it, the State of South Car olina and the national government throw every safeguard about it—protective laws, steel vaults, burglar alarms, police protection^ The Sociable Dollar performs a useful work in its community and earns inter est for its owner. It attracts other dollars to it and together they provide credit for worthy enterprise in mill or on the, trr-- •farm. It paystfebts, pays wages, buysseed. ' b'rfeakup a iqans conndence in his ability builds homes. It increases the wealth of to managc_money and co-operate with the community. others for the good of all. . ... e ‘ ‘ _ i. .. - ‘ / •* . .

As Banks prosper, people prosper and are prepared to share in the golden opportunities that South Carolina in today’s sweep of progress seems to bring to every door. A sound step and the first step in personal prosperity is use of the security, the convenience and service of the modern Bank.
