Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One tof the
functions of
A Bank s Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec
tion the depositors have.
This bank has a
Capital of .... 200,000.00

Undivided Profits . . 25,000.00

A TOTAL OF 475 000.00 '
This means that this bank must lose prac
tically half a million dollars before its depo
sitors could lose a cent.
