This
f rieiidly bank;
here to
serve you
The old idea that banking was a coldblooded business no longer prevails. Bankers today know that their relations with
their clients should be close, intimate,
friendly.
You'll find this "friendly" attitude here.
Our officers will be glad to meet you and
discuss your business problems. Their wide
knowledge of conditions generally, as well
as locally, qualify them to counsel wisely.
These close relations between banker
and client are a protection to the client and
the bank.   They make for better business.

ANN ARBOR
Amsterdam, July 13, 1928.
Dear Family:
This has be.en a terrible day, for
the heat is * almost unbearable. We
were not a bit seasick on the trip to,
Holland. Our boat was the St. Denis.
We took it from Harwick to the Hook
of Holland. The sea was very calm
and I rested quite well. It took a little more than an hour to go from
London down to Harwick, which is a
port of London just as Southampton
is. We had to get off the boat at
5:30 and go through customs, but Mr.
Kirkpatrick, the conductor, went
first and they didn't open a bag. He
.has been across eight times with
tours so he knows all about it.
We. took a bus to the Hague where
we had breakfast, which was cheese,
crackers and coffee. Of course we
will have all kinds of cheese now.
Holland is just like the pictures you
see of it and I love it. The roads are
very rough and narrow. A bus can
only drive 10 miles an hour; canals
and windmills are plentiful. All the
fisher people wear wooden shoes and
regular Dutch costumes, but of course
the city people don't.
Holland seems to have wealth, they ,
dress well, and drive huge American j
.made   cars.     Tlie   stores   are  lovely,
but things seem expensive.
After breakfast we took a tour of
the Hague and saw their sea summer
resort, the Peace Palace and the two
homes of the Queen. Went through
her'house in the woods and it is just
beautiful. She has a Japanese room
and a Chinese room—everything imported from those countries of course.
She is in Sweden, so we were able to
go over the palace.
We drove to the Haarlem and had
lunch at the Park hotel, a lovely
place, and really we had beefsteak,
the first I have had and it was good.
They are fine cooks and their food
has a home taste.
We drove back to Amsterdam and
had the afternoon off. Marly x "'1 I
started out. to look around and shop,
getting back just in time for dinner.
We have fine rooms, but I can't say
the name of the hotel—it is "Kras-
napolsky." We can't read anything
here or understand a word they say,
but it is a heapj of fun just the same.
After dinner Teddy took us into
the winter garden of the hotel to see
them dance; a good orchestra and a
lovely place. He introduced us to
som-* *Cutch boys he knew who could
speak English, so we had a good
time. They are nice looking boys;
the one I was with spoke seven languages. Thev took us about and to
eat later. Teddy went along to act
as chaperone.
I am making good use of my thin
taffeta dresses—they are so cool—but
am so brown and my neck is sunburned. I dread to think of coming
home so black, but it can't be helped.
The next morning we took a bus at
10:30 and went to Zeider Zee along
the canal road with miles of Dutch
windmills and real Dutch scenery.
Our bus bov ran into a cart loaded
with vegetables and we had a bit of
excitement. No one was hurt, only
poor Marion got a cabbage in her
face. Took a boat at the sea and
went to the Isle of Marken. Our
captain and his son were real Dutch,
wooden -shoes, home knit socks, plaited wool bloomers, etc. The Isle is
verv Dutch, and the pictures I am
sending look just like it. I saw a
five-weeks-old baby in a heavy red
wool Dutch dress with bloomers.
Went, from there to Valendam,
where we had lunch. Drove on to
Broeck in Waterland and went
through the famous Edam cheese factory. I ordered one sent home to
you. Dad. so hoDe you get it. Invite
in your cheese friends, George Burkhart Dr. Wallace, and others to share
it. I hone you like it for we get it
three times a dav- The bouses, barns
and factories are all under one roof,
but oh. so clean. The women seem to
be scrubbing all the time, even the
outside-of the houses and walks. I
went to one of the store** to buv ,«ome
D"tch T*ot;terv and old Di-trti silver,
and tbe man took- "o'tv o**> me and offered to r»-ck and s>n"r> rti the china I
had to vou. It wa<* getting so hard
to carry. I gave him a liberal tip,
and do hot)e it arets there safelv.
I  am very  tired.    We leave for
Brussels tomorrow at 8 o'clock and I
want to get some sleep.   I have such
little time in which to jTrite.

TOM*MIX TRIUMPHS IN
VFINE WESTERN PHOTODRAMA
Cowboy   at   His   Best   in   a   Story
Written Especially for Him by
Aliss  St.  Johns.
Again Tom Mix scores triumphantly in" a fine -western drama, "The
Arizona Wildcat," which comes to the
Liberty theatre Saturday and Sim-
day. In this -latest Fox Films release, Tom and his horse Tony have
an unusually good story in which to
display their talents. It was written
especially for them by Adela Rogers
St. Johns, well known author of best
selling fiction.
It is a thrilling romance, crammed
with adventure, and deals with a
gang of eastern crooks who are west
selling 'fake bonds. An* eastern society girl, played by Dorothy Sebastian, is the reason why Tom suddenly
becomes enamored of polo and plays
the game which leads to the final
smashing scenes which includes riding Tony up flights of stairs to the
roof of a building in which the girl
is held prisoner.
A fine cast of screen favorites support Tom in the kind of picture that
made him famous.
