HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMERS' MONTHLY 



A Business Bank for 

 Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 pei-. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

 ascribed to unsanitary conditions of one 

 kind or another, which tend to encourage 

 the transmission of such diseases as 

 typhoid fever, tuberculosis, enteritus, 

 dysentery, diarrhea, cholera infantum
