ANNOUNCEMENT
VINGS BANK
We wish to announce to the public that this bank has been accepted as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of District No. 7, of Chicago.
Our Officers and Directors after careful study of the Federal Reserve Banking System decided to apply for admittance therein.
In becoming a member bank in this Strong Government System we
are simply following our policy of SAFETY, SECURITY and SERVICE,
The Federal Reserve System puts us in a STRONGER position
than ever. In addition to the excellent protection afforded by The Banking Department of the State of Michigan, we also now enjoy the Government's Federal Reserve Protection. This gives our customers a double
guarantee of safety, security and service and puts us in a position where
we can offer greater advantages to Qur patrons than ever before.
The Federal Reserve Act was without doubt the best financial
legislation ever enacted in this country. It has been in operation for over
four years, during which time the largest financial operations in the
history of our country have been accomplished without the sign of financial disturbance or without inconvenience to private borrowers. The
fact that the largest and strongest State Banks in Michigan as well as the
National Banks have joined the system is the best proof of its success.
In order to qualify for membership in the Federal Reserve System a bank must of necessity be strong and secure. Full information of
the character of its securities and management must be submitted to the
Members of The Federal Reserve Board for their approval. It is, therefore, particularly pleasing to the officials of this bank to have been 'go
promptly accepted to membership. It also places us in a decidedly comfortable position to know that we hold membership in a System composed of the LARGEST and STRONGEST BANKS of the country all
placing their reserves in huge reservoir on which each may draw in
time of need.

In the Spring, we find many things aroimdi the home or farm
which need a coat of paint or varnish, to preserve the .material and
improve the looks. But paints and varnishes, have gone so high in
cost that many put off the painting. "We can help ,yo>u out this spring
and save you the biggest .part oJ your w.aint and varnish bill.
We have a quantity of Paints, Varnish-Stains, Enamels, Etc-, in
cans which have become shopworn, and which we do not wish to
continue on our shelves with fresh goads. T.hese are good, standlard
brands, the assortments fairly complete in the varnishes, not quite as
complete in the paints, but if you have a piece of furniture to refin-
ish, porch furniture to fix up, a floor to varnish, a piece of machitnv-
ery or a small building to repaint, these goods will do the work at
less than half present costs.
Come in and look over our paint and varnish bargain cou,n.ter,
you will b|e surprised at the values we offer.

floor.

made by dissolving one pint of formalin; in forty gallpns o,f water. One
gallon of solution will treat a bushel.

pint and can be secured at any drug
stQre.
3. Shovel, the" moist seed into a
pile and cover with sacks or carpet
and let stand for 3 or 4 hours.
Sow at once or spread oi^t and stir
occasionally until, dry, then store in
■clean sacks or boxes until ready to
plant.
As the oats swell(, set the drill for
heavier seeding than usual.

tion used fort holding clean grain.
Be sure to use a clean grain drilj.
