of Ed Jones

For years Ed Jones had been saying to himself, “Someday I'm going to have money in the bank.” But he never got past the dreaming stage until one day. . . Mr. Brown, a successful friend of Ed’s, told him, “Ed, if you want a growing bank account, you've got to deposit money regularly. And the place to deposit your money is the most convenient bank you can find—so you won't be telling

yourself that it’s too far to go to the bank on payday.”

Well, Ed is now the proud owner of a growing savings account earning interest at Fletcher Trust Company. He found out that a lot of Joneses, Browns, and Smiths — more than 90,000 of them — bank at Fletcher Trust Company because it is so convenient. When you epen an account at any of our 14 city-wide offices, you automatically

In addition, you can make deposits at all 14 officesand can arrange to cash checks at other offices near your home or work. Just about one out of every five persons in the Indianapolis area banks at Fletcher Trust Company. Why nog bank this convenient way?
