Bloomsburg, Pa.
Quickly Wears Away.
People sometimes dread to enter a bank, simply
because they are not familiar with the customs of
business.
This feeling quickly wears away with those who
deal at this bank, at least we try to have it so;
we want every customer to feel easy and at home.

TALK
ITS CARE.
A good watch is like a good horse. Trent it right and it will serve yon
well for years. Neglect it and you will shorten its days of usefulness. Good
treatment consists of regularity in winding and cleaning and oiling. Always
wind it in the morning. Your time of rising is moie regular than youi time of
retiring. You carry your watch during the day and it needs the full strength
of the mainspring. Don't let it run without attention till it stops. Choose
some day of the year your birthday is easy to remember ond have it cleaned
and oiled regularly on that day. It doesn't take much oil to satisfy a watch,
but when it does need, it needs badly. Carry a good dust proof case and never
open the back. Always have a watch maker regulate it. He won't charge
you for doing it and he knows just how. By following these rules a good
movement will last you a life time. When you're done with it it will still be a
good time keeper for your boy and your boy's boy to carry in turn,
