The Test of Time
Time determines whether the policies under which a bank is oper

This bank has been ln business twenty-six years.
It haa grown steadily until It has become one of the strongest and
most prosperous financial lustltutlona ln the West.
The soundness u. .i. policies Is attested by the long list of conserv

! The concrete will furnish the strength
required to hold up the loads which

the bitumenized surface will prevent

15 years. Under present conditions of
