ADDRESS Helping people... is what we're all about \ If 52 years have taught us anything it's that helping our friends and neighbors is what we're all about. In over a half century we've helped all kinds of people in many different ways. There's never been a problem too big or small that we didn't take the time to care. And it appears that folks like our attitude because they keep coming back to us and bringing new friends along. That's why we're the largest and strongest sayings and loan serving McHenry county. We're proud of the fact that we have three convenient oil ices, strong reserves and assets over 90 million dollars...that's a lot to be proud of. And we thank our friends and neighbors, both old and new, who have made it all happen. Because the stronger we are, the more we can help...and helping people is what we're all about. . .He lp ing Peop le I s What We're A l l About and loan association 200 EAST GRANT HIGHWAY • MARENGO, ILLINOIS 60152 * 815 568-7258 4400 WEST ROUTE 120 • McHENRY, ILLINOIS 60060 * 815 344-1900 118 CASS STREET * WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS 60098 • 815 338 2900 9
