The Future
Sickness and old age are not pleas
ant subjects to discuss; however, we
grow older steadily and would never
pass on if we were never ill. The
idea is to provide as nearly as possi
ble against the inevitable and grow
old with grace, comfort and dignity.
A savings account started soon
enough in this strong state bank
will dispel many of the possible
adverse conditions of later years.
Think it over.
