FORMER CITIZENS WITH PROSPEROUS CONCERN.

I The Republican has received a statement of a condensed report of the Merchants’ National bank, of South Bend, of the date of May 12, 1919. This is the institution of which our former townsman, Charles W. Coen, is cashier and his son, Delos M. Coen, is assistant cashier. It is in a thriving condition and is gaining i in business and assets by leaps and j bounds. The present capital stocks I and surplus is $150,000, with re--1 sources to the amount of $1,515,313.7. J. t!. Paxton, also a former business man, is the president of this progressive banking house. On the last page of this report are the following very interesting remarks : The Seven Mistakes of Life 1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others down. 2. The tendency to worry About things that cannot be changed or corrected. 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. 4. Attempting to compel other men to believe and live as we do. 5. Failure to refine the mind by acquiring the habit of reading good literature. 6. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences, in order that important things may be accomplished. 7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money.
