NINE REASONS
why a National Bank is the
best Bank for you
1—National. Banks ate the depositories and  really the  banks of the
United Stotes^Government and are under its direct supervision  and
inspection.
2—National Banks are required to keep on hand in actual money from
15 to 25 per cent of its deposits.
3—The stockholders of a National Bank are liable for double   the;
amount of stock they own.
4—National Banks are required to  accumulate  a surplus by  setting
apart one-tenth of their uet profits, before any dividends are paid,
until the surplus equals 20 per cent of th^- Capital Stock.
.      5^-National Banks are prohibited from owning real estate  except that
jfea        used as quarters for the banks.
- 6—National Banks are prohibited from over certifying notes,  under
very severe penalties.
%-—National Banks must make numerous reports to the  United States
Comptroller of the Currency..
8—United States bank examiners go over in detail the condition of
every National Bank at different intervals and these inspections are
made without the bank previously knowing that same is to be done.
9—If anything happens at any time the United States government take
complete charge-of a ^National Bank and the interests ai the depositors are protected first, last and all the time, beiore anybody or
anything else. _
Therefore, notjijrigln this world can be stronger or safer than   a National Bank because,the United' States government is back of it all

Binder Twine
LOOK at the tag on your twine and be sure that the
"Plymouth trade mark is on every tag. '
IT means you will get twine made in the oldest and
largest independent mill world; twine that
NEVER fails to give satisfaction, being full length,
full strength; evenly spun and well balled.
DON'T be deceived by parties offering twine claimed
to be "Just as good as Plymouth"
SOME farmers lose hours in the harvest field "when
minutes count,
AAD condemn a binder that would work all right if
they used Plymouth Twine.
YOU  know by experience that poor twine, though
purchased at a low price is an expensive article.
BECAUSE such twine is often short length, and so
uneven it breaks when tying the bundles.
REMEMBER  eyery ball of twine having Plymouth
trade mark and name of Lindsay Bros.
ON the tag is exactly as represented.    Do not wait
antil harvest time; order now, because
SOMETIMES the demand for Plymouth Twine is beyond our ability to supply.
FOR SALE" BY
F. D. FORD
Retail Jewelers are not afraid
of the Mail Order houses and we are oven boses of competition. '
There is no offer made by them that we cannot equal. Indeed it is an oft-
repeated claim—one that has never been disproved—that we can sell a better
article of jewelry than any mail order house for as little or less money. That
is why we are so anxious to have those who make a practice of purchasing by
mail give our claims a test. If we could not make good, we would not be saying a word about it, bufcthe loss is yours, as well as ours, hence our earnestnes'
about the matter.
A fair test—value foi- value, money for money—^11 all we ask.
