The business o f
Money
To make money is the ultimate goal of all
business. To have money is the aim of all
people— not for the money’s sake, but for
the comfort, education and happiness that
it will bring, and as a reserve against emer­
gency.
Every wise business executive creates a
sinking fund or reserve to guard against the
unknown. A part of this fund should be in
the form of a savings account at this bank
— it will be immeditely available if needed,
can be used as a loan security, and it will
earn a good rate of interest.
To the far-sighted manager of finances we
offer our advisatory services on the right
way to handle such a fund. It will be a plea­
sure to any one of the officers of this bank
to talk it over with you.

Can You Imagine
A Finish Like This?
RIVE your car all day in a blistering sun,
take a long trip on stretches where road-
tar is encountered, sand blown against the
body, mud spattered and dried on the hood.
T he effects of such severe usage will positively
affect your ear if finished in the ordinary
manner. With a Proxlin finish, however,
these unusual and extreme conditions have nc
effect whatever. Proxlin is the modern lac­
quer cnatncl that everyone is talkingabout. Itis ‘
applied quickly, gives a beautiful finish when
applied, and, remarkable as it may seem,
improves with use, the constant wiping of the
surface actually heightening the original beau­
tiful finish. Drive in and let us tell you more
fully the story of Proxlin and how you can save
money by having us refinish your car now.
