KI.4344 « • 4 « \ « I HE'D LIKE TO KNOW YOU (ith^midii. The service you receive from yoor bank is rendered so quietly and effi- ciently that the human values behind it may not have occurred to you. Think, for instance, of the confidence you rest in your branch bank manager, perhaps without even knowing him well personally. You ought to know him better. By deposit- ing your money in his branch, you made him and his staff the custodians of your account and the transactions relating to it. You hold him in high trust, knowing that your private affairs will be kept private. You wilH find your bank manager a trained man who has 11 come up through the ranks, and who will be glad to discuss your financial needs with you and to inform you as to the appropriate service his bank can render. Should you desire a personal loan to meet some unexpected expense, talk it over with him. You can depend on receiving courteous, understanding and friendly consideration. Small loans are just on« of the services your bank provides. You may be surprised to learn of many other services available for your use. 7 hit Advrfifnfiit It Spontof d by your Bank Schools Opened Tuesday Flesherton schools reopened for the fall term on Tuesday morning.
