If, for some reason, you have become predjudiced against banks in general, but your better judgment., tells you that you are taking great risks in handling your money by some other method than through the bank, won’t you let us talk it over with you? We will not try to persuade you, or convince you that you are wrong in your opinions, we will just try to give you plain facts about our bank,"and let you decide for yourself whether you are doing yourself and us an injustice by not having an account with us.
