ON THE CORNER OF THE SQUARE

SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OCCUPIES ELE- - GANT QUARTERS. Rensselaer is justly proud of its three banking institutions. All are now located in buildings of their own. These buildings and equipment are in keeping with the progressive and spirit substantiality of their clientage. _____ / The" Trust & Savings Bank is the last to occupy new quarters. This institution opened this" Saturday morning for business in their new room just completed at the corner of Van Rensselaer and Washington streets. This is an ideal location for a bank and since the very beginning of Rensselaer it has been occupied by a banking house. This institution has lately increased its capital stock from $25,000 to SIOO,OOO. The added stock was distributed and is owned by a large number of the citizens of the community including several business men and farmers.

Its large capacity for business, its efficient and courteous officers, its elegant banking house, and convenient location make it’s future full of promise. It will be able, with our other banking institutions to give financial aid to all movements looking to the upbuilding of this great community. Happily there is in this locality a splendid spirit of co-oper-ation between the farming and business interests. It is the purpose of each to mutually help the other; The Trust and Savings Bank is proud to be called “THE BANK ON THE CORNER AND ON THE SQUARE.”
