j Our Service to Women j
The service of a strong financial institution is as
valuable to women as it is to men and realizing this,
a constant aim of the management of the Mechan
ics Trust Company is to make it an institution with
which the women of the city may conveniently and
I advantageously transact their financial business.
Small as well as large accounts are received—
either subject to check or at 3 per cent interest— I
and those women who favor us with their patronage
receive the most prompt and courteous service at
all times.
