Every good citizen at this tijne should do
his share toward strengthening the Fed
eral Reserve Banking System with its
billion dollars of resources which our
government has created 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
dollar you deposit with us goes directly
into the new system.
This is a suggestion tor prompt action.
