Patriotism and Business
Everv good citizen at this time should do
his share toward strengthening the Federal
Reserve Banking System which our Govern
ment has created with its billion dollars of
resources to stand back of its member banks
and all their depositors.
You can contribute directly to the
strength of this system, and at the same
time secure its protection by . depositing
your money witH us since part of every dol
lar you deposit with us goes directly into
the new system, where it is always ready for
you when wanted.
This is a suggestion for prompt action.
