Lower Farm Implement Prices
IHE BREAK HAS COME. FOR
some time prices paid for your farm
products have been low. It is but nat
ural for you to want lower prices on the farm im

Announcement is made by the Oliver
Chilled Plow Works of a general
price reduction in their lines that
brings prices to the basis of 1918.
They are first to make this reduction
and are taking the loss that the move
brings for there has been little re

contribution in hastening a return to
normal conditions.
This is your opportunity to secure
new, up-to-date Oliver quality imple
ments that will help you produce a
full crop, and get them at a price in
line with the reduced prices on your

the finest to be found in the state
These I.oxes are located in a large Customers' Vault,
entirely separate from the main bank vault, and built
especially for these Boxes.
The Boxes are large enough to contain many val

deeds, notes, etc., together with other valuables that
you may wish to put away.
When renting one of these Boxes you ate given a
key, and have access to the vault at all times during
banking hours. No one has access to your box except
yourself or a duly authorized person by yourself.
The rental of these Boxes is but two dollars a year.
