This Is the Difference
Hoarding Money
and Saving it.
Money when hoarded
and stored away in stock-ings
or buried, is likely to
be lost.
It earns nothing year
in and year out.
Money placed in our
savings department earns
•1 per cent interest for
you and is ABSOLUTE-LY
SAFE.
We want the banking
business of the farmers of
Guilford county. To that
end we have equipped our
bank with every modern
facility for safe-guarding
and handling your funds.
When you are in town
call around and see us.
You will always find a
