? That’s why he
money.
All the regrets in the world won’t bring back
your money invest it foolishly in some wild
cat scheme and lose it—for lose it you surely will.
The one sure way to take care of your money
is to put it in our Bank where it is SAFE, and let it
pile up. Then you and yours, who are entitled to
it, will have it safe at your command at any time.
Put YOUR money in OUR bank.

sent from Fort Sill, Okla.
France, July 26, 1913.
I am in active service and
getting along fine. I think we
boys will be home by Spring as
1 think Fritz has found out
that Uncle Sam’s boys are too
much for him. 1 believe the
Kaiser has about all the fight
ing he is looking for. But we
are here to fight it through.
I guess theres quite a change
in your community since the
boys have gone. But 1 be
lieve we’ll land home safely by
Spring anyway.
It certainly does me good to
hear from my friends back in
the dear old U. S. A., the best
country in the world. That is
lots to say, but nevertheless its
true. Give all my friends my
best regards, Your freind,
JOHN W. BARNETT.
