Can you think of a more "valuable present for your
child's Christmas than a Certificate of Deposit or a
Savings Passbook showing a deposit in this bank
drawing interest at four per cent compounded every
six months?
Would it not lie wise to start nn educational fund
' in this way now and thereby insure a college educa
tion for j-our boy or girl?
The investment is sound and can bo converted into
cash at nny time.
