Deposit your cotton checks with us, take a check book and pay your bills by check on us. This is safer than handling the cash, and it gives you a cornplele record of how and where your money goes. Do not keep your money at home or in your pocket, where it may be lost, stolen, mislaid or burned. None of these accidents may have ever happened to you, but they have to others, and you may be the next. No matter what bank or what town your cotton check may be drawn on, we will cash it, or place it to yodr credit, at lace value. Capital, Surplus and Profits $95,000 0. M. Smith, Prest. ' R. S.
