a bank loan
It has become almost standard practice
today for people to go to their bank to
finance the purchase of cars and other
family items. You, too, may have found it
a good idea to borrow where you save — at
your local bank. It is often simpler, because
the bank already knows you as a savings
customer. And it, also may save you money
because bank loans are low-cost loans. For
borrowing and saving, and for any other
bank service you may need, just visit your
local chartered bank, It's the one place
where you can get ail your banking done,
under one roof.
