Any ·business is merely the reflection of the tnen behind it. In the banking business this is especially true. If a bank's directors are among the leading men of their community; if their honor and integrity are unimpeachable; if their business ability is widely known and respected then you can safely call the bank they represent "a good bank." In searching for the reasons for the steady growth of the First National Bank, you need only one look over the following list of directors and recall their policy of conservativ.e progressiveness.
