OUR FOURTH YEAR
We are entering our fourth year as a financial institution of
Gresham and it is our earnest desise to be of more service and
make this a greater year for the community.
Did you ever stop to think?
Of the many opportunities that a banking institution puts within your reach?
1. It protects your money by placing it immediately under "Burglary" and
"Hold Up" insurance, relieving you from all care and worry.
2. It lends you money.
3. it lends money hi the very man from whom you seek work or trade
4. It gives you aiivice and assistance free of cost.
3. it offers you a place of safe deposit for even small ’sums, which, if
persistently saved. will eventually develop Into a snug lialance.
6. It will assist you in placing your money where it will be safely and
profitably invested.
Good standing at the Bank establishes your credit in the community.
These things are worth thinking about.
Yon see a man who ia getting out of the rut, getting ahead, making aome
