Men of Affairs ---

Safeguard their Estates by appointing a responsible Trust Company to act as Executor or Trustee. There is no reason why smaller estates should not be similarly pro- tected. They are in greater need of it-can less afford to incur risk. Any man with property to bequeath to his heirs should take this means of safeguarding them against unwise investment and also avoiding the uncertainties of individual trusteeship due to possible death, sickness or absence. A personal call or correspondence invited.

STRENGTH

--- the cornerstone of a successful bank

An institution that has, for forty-two years, weath- ered every business depression, every financial flurry, every unforseen incident-that has adhered rigidly to the policy of far-sighted conservatism initiated by its founder-can well be expected to continue to uphold right practices, to adapt itself to changing conditions, to enlarge its sphere of usefulness to its patrons.
