Announcement
Effective July 1st, the banks of M edford and C entral Point will unanimously
adopt the policy of m aking a m onthly charge of fifty cents on all checking
accounts of depositors where the balance is under $50.00 at any time during
the month. This rule will affect only those accounts which are subject to
check, and will not apply to Savings Accounts and Tim e C ertificates of De
posit.
In adopting a monthly service charge, the banks of M edford and Central
Point are only following the policy of banks in ail larger cities and most of
the sm aller towns of the country.
Increased cost of clerical help, supplies and other items that are necessary
in conducting a banking institution m ake the small accounts a source of loss.
Those of our depositors who carry only a small balance may find it mre con
venient to place their accounts in the Savings departm ent where no charge
will be m ade.
