A PERSONAL STATEMENT The restoration of banking facilities to Barnwell has been accomplished after months of hard work, and only after it ap pears that reorganization of the Bank of Western Carolina is hopeless and, if possible at all, would come only after months of delay and after the town and community had suffered irre parable injury on account of the lact of banking facilities. I, therefore, determined, at what ever financial sacrifice, to organ ize a strong, sound, going bank for the town of Barnwell and this section of South Carolina. My association and friendship with certain wealthy outside citizens, including my friend, % Mr. C. G. Fuller, who has locat- r ed in Barnwell permanently and cast his lot with us, have been rewarded bv an immediate re sponse* to subscribe whatever necessary capital w r e needed for \ * a SOUND BANK IN BARN WELL. The result is THE BANK OF BARNWELL, which I commend to the people of the county and ask for it unstinted support at the hands of the peo- * pie of the county. The TTsources of those behind The Bank of Barnwell run into the millions of dollars, a fact which assures us of immediate and complete banking connections throughout the country, with that confidence which is so necessary in success ful banking. - - EDGAR A. BROWN. 5* The Capital Stock of THE BANK OF BARNWELL has been fully subscrib- •* . • ed and paid in and the doors of the Bank will be opened for business in the old Bank of Western Carolina building next MONDAY, MARCH 1 4th, 1 932, at nine o’clock A. M. * . • * . • • -* * • * t * _ The business men who have put their monfcy into this institution have done so - «• FIRST. Because they believe that no community can prosper, or even con tinue to do business, withput adequate banking facilities. • t . ; « ' *•' • .* • SECOND. Because they believe that they can render a distinct sei*vice to Barnwell County at this time. ' * * 4 • • • • « » • , , * • # * * THIRD. Because they desire a safe place to keep their own money. The Bank is Prepared to Take Care of Any Reasonable Requirements of the Business Community. » ■ a " ' * J |( ' ' I . ~ ' * Safe banking will not permit the payment of more than 3 per cent, on savings % accounts. The Bank of Barnwell will pay this rate. • % SAFETY: • % * Don’t deposit money in The Bank of Barnwell for sentimental reasons. If you have money and want it kept safely - so that you cah ,get it when you want it — % *• • we will render you every safe banking accommodation. We are putting N our money in the bank, for Barnwell’s sake — to build the community — and because we know it will be safe. AN INVITAI ION A cordial invitation is extended to the farmers, business and professional N people of Blackville, Springfield, Denmark, Allendale, Dunbarton and other com munities without backing facilities to make use of the accomodations offered by The Bank of Barnwell. * A PERSONAL WORD. % • I moved to Barnwell three years-ago. I liked the town and - - its people so much that I have , + sold my home in the North and have located here pernyinently. I have done business in several . - - % • . States and have been all over « this country, but I have never seen any place where the possi bilities are greater than right here in Barnwell County. I think this so much that I have decided *• • to put a considerable amount of money into The Rank of Barn- « well and consented to accept the presidency of the new institu tion. I want a safe place to keep my own money and 1 am going to have one for the peo ple of this community to keep theirs. The bank is going to be -• • run on business principles.
