Bank--or Department Store? Ifs hard to tell which the picture shows, Isn't it? Actually, it shows the lobby of a commercial bank, in which an assortment of wares is exhibited--because they illustrate goals attainable through use of bank services. Banks often feature displays like this, tfving their premises the appearance of department stores. In another way, America's commercial banks are department stores--of financial services. Under a single roof, the customer finds an assortment of useful credit services, and handy facilities for safeguarding possessions, transferring funds, and practicing thrift Bargains abound. Cost b low on loans for all sound purposes- safe deposit protection costs pennies weekly; the benefits of a checking account cost little or nothing; the unique advantages of a bank savings account are yours plus interest A century seems a short time indeed for commercial banking to have reached the state where it can offer the average American this allaround financial service. It was just a century ago--In 1863--that President Abraham Lincoln signed the National Currency Act. By creating a national currency, the Act created a key growth catalyst for economic advancement. And by providing for Federally-chartered banks, to join the existing statechartered banks, it created the "dual banking system" tint has so greatly augmented that advancement An anniversary marks only an end but also a beginning. As America's commercial banks look back on their record with pride, they look forward to a new century of progress--through service. 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL CURRENCY ACT AND THE DUAL BANKING SYSTEM McHENRY STATE BANK "Always Serving You -- All Ways" Since 1908 Phone 385-1040 Member Federal Reserve System Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation A CKM 1 !<Y Of COMMEKC1AL BANKING
