FOR SIXTY-FOUR YEARS, The Anglo Bank has been playing a helpful part in the daily lives of San Franciscans of every calling.
Downtown, midtown and uptown-in the finan- cial district, in the executive offices of great cor- porations, on the waterfront and in the railroad yards, in factories and warehouses, in department stores and neighborhood shops, in tens of thou- sands of homes, The Anglo Bank is known as a helpful, friendly institution.
One reason why so many San Franciscans bank with The Anglo is the fact that it has the facilities and the resources to fill every banking need. Another reason is that The Anglo Bank constantly endeavors to be of the maximum usefulness to every customer.
