We will print in name and address of producer or 

 dealer, in different quantities, at the following sched- 

 ule of prices for any size: 



Lots of 100 30 cts. 



Lots of 250 50 cts. 



Lots of .500 75 cts. 



Lots of 1000 $1.00. 



For each additional 1000, add 50 cents. Each change 

 of name and address counts as a separate order. For 

 instance, 1000 bags printed with four different names 

 and addresses, 250 of each, would be $2.00; with ten 

 different names, $3.00, etc. As the bags must be print- 

 ed before they are made up and coated, we can not 

 change the label except in lots of 10,000 or over.

^"^ BANK THAT PAYS 



FOUR PER CENT 



The possessor of small savings is confront- 

 ed by a difficult problem. ^ First, he 

 wants to make his savings secui-e. <^ Sec- 

 ond, to so invest them that he will receive 

 a reasonable return. .^ Third, to place 

 them in such a way that he vdll be able to 

 draw upon them should occasion require. 

 •^ The Savings Deposit Bank offers the 

 most natural and plausible solution of the 

 problem. .^ Savings deposited with it 

 are absolutely safe, and earn four per cent 

 interest compounded twice a year. ^ This 

 is a higher interest than is realized from 

 Government bonds and other safe invest- 

 ments, and there is additional advantage in 

 the fact that money is always available on 

 proper notice.
