Maybe you’ve promised yourself that, th's
coming year, no matter what, you’re going to
save some money. Or invest a little.
Well, we at First National Bank can make it a
little easier for you to keep that promise. Because
we have a variety of savings and investment
programs, for every type of family
every type of budget. For example:
Regular
Passbook Savings
This familiar savings
plan is the most convenient,
most flexible vou'll find.
It pays high bank interest,
and traditionallv permits
you to withdraw vour
funds anytime you’d like,
without advance notice!
Save-O-Matic
It helps vou save,
in spite of yourself! Just
tell us how much you'd like
to save each month, and we’ll
transfer that amount from your
First National checking account
to your regular savings account.
It’s automatic. So you'll save quickly.
Regularly. And painlessly!

First Investors Passbook
With this special account, you can invest in
as many as three different time accounts—
90-Day, One-Year and Two-Year—
all at the same time! Of course, the
longer the maturity date, the more interest
you earn. But a minimum opening deposit
of $300, plus additional deposits of $50
or more, will keep any—or all—of vour
accounts growing regularly. And quickly!
Stop by First National.
