T HERE is a stronger bond of love and friend- ship today than ever in the world's history. It is evidenced in many ways— a better standard of home life; bigger and better purposes in the individual, and a higher plane of commercial activity. In success and growth confidence is essential. Confidence comes from no- bility of service and honesty of purpose. O UR bank has grown for the reason that we have made our interests the interests of our community—its business, its homes, its people. The confidence we have enjoyed in return has rebounded to our credit and has given us greater incentive for greater service. ' This bank is worthy of Tom nines:, con- fidence. Make it your bank.
