Bank growth depends upon deposits, and they in turn, are the result of the wise and conservative management which begets the confidence and good will of the people. We are proud of the way this institution is increasing in strength and influence, and grateful to the depositors and cus tomers who have contributed to its up-building. The same pol icy which has made this bank popular in the past will be adhered to in the future and every accommodation which is consistent with perfect safety will be granted to our friends. Your account will be welcome, be it large or small. Courteous treatment of all will continue to be a feature of our service. merry Saturday was the first day for sev eral that the mercury did not regis ter freezing.

For In stance, if one was married and one single and th j wife of the married one was to meet the single one, run up and kiss him, tell him about the new suit she just purchased and ask him for two dollars to buy shoes for the baby, the poor man would be dumb founded.
