A BANK FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE
There are some people in every community who
think that Banks were made for the rich. If you
are one of the misinformed who have this idea, let
us again emphasize the fact that THIS IS A BANK
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
A deposit of $1 receives the same welcome and
the same courteous attention as a larger deposit,
for this reason: Many a deposit of $1 has grown in
to an account of $1000 or more, and made itself
!
worth while to us and the depositor.
No account too large and none too small for our
most careful attention.

ABANDON inPROVEHENTS
Two hundred million dollars
worth of construction work which
had been planned by railroads
throughout the United States will
be abandoned and no further new
work will be undertaken at pres

the increase in rates made by twen
ty-five railroads, according to M.
M. Richey, general superintend
ent of the Iron Mountain.
Mr. Richey says the Iron Moun
