 FIRST CORN CONTEST 



OF THE 



CORN EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK 

 Philadelphia 



AT 



COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE, PHILADELPHIA BOURSE 

 December 4, 5, 6, 1913 



AT 



PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE 

 State College, Pa. 



December 29th to January 3d. 



The American Bankers' Association has come to the conclusion that 

 the most useful and profitable work they could undertake is along the line 

 of agricultural development and education. 



The Corn Exchange National Bank of Philadelphia has always been 

 closely associated with the Grain Exchange (now called the Commercial 

 Exchange). So we are in hearty sympathy with the movement and 

 believe that better crops will mean increased prosperity to all. 



On these broad lines we enlist the co-operation of all banks, news- 

 papers, business men and educators in the four States — Pennsylvania, 

 New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
