The decision you make today
may not affect you for ten years
“What you decide today may determine your
business ten years from now. It may even not
effect you for that long,” an elderly business man
told a young friend the other day.
“And so you should get information from every
possible source before you' decide upon any vital
matter.
“A man completely absorbed in his own business
sometimes loses the outside viewpoint; That is the
reason why the counsel of a banker who is in touch
with various lines of business is of value.
“A banker of course has no greater foresight
than other business men, but his contact with many
men in varied lines of industry gives him a com
posite view of conditions.
“His counsel is always of maximum value when
he understands your business. Above all, he should
know you — not casually but as one with whom he
has discussed business from time to time.”
That is the reason for the friendliness and in-
terest our officers take in every account. We want
to be of utmost helpfulness to you.
