A checking account is the first step
toward establishing credit with a bank.
And credit today is a real asset.
Yet it is what you make it.
The tight credit at the right time,
at the right bank may be worth more to
you than a batch of letters presented by
you as a stranger.
W e seek growing accounts of grow
ing business m en -m en who will come to
us for advice, and who will want the
fnendship of a strong bank when credit
is needed.
This bank will be glad to meet you
and serve you.
It is a pleasure, as
well as good business, to have young
men grow with us.

Lumber Prices
A re Down
From 40 to 60 Per Cent
Competent labor is available and ready to do
more and belter work at a lower wage than for
several years.
Building operations hav e been held up await
ing these advantages. Those who have been
watching the situarion closely are agreed that
now is the time to do building.
More favorable conditions could not be ex
pected. either for the securing of labor or ma
terial. The man who delays now will likely
later find himself in the midd ot the greatest
building era our country has seen.
It is our business to study building conditions
and, in our opinion, an opportunity exists now
for the man who wants to build.
