WHEN BILL and his crew go into the
woods now, they get timber out twice as fast
'as they used to. That new tractor Bill bought
really handles those logs!
Back in town, the saw-mill is running full
Mast, taking all crew can deliver . . .
And this extra activity, this extra income
spreading around through the community is
largely due to the fact that Bill went to see
his bank manager and arranged a loan to
buy the tractor ...
In lumbering towns and rural hamlets, in
big seaports and tiny fishing villages, bank
credit — money at work — helps to increase
business activity in whole communities. Your
bank manager's job is to help men and women
grasp opportunities and to put the bank's
facilities to work for you and your neighbonrs.
