Central Thrift News PUBLISHED BY THE CENTRAL NATIONAL BANK AND CE .VIRAL INS. AGENCY INC.. IN THE INTEREST OF THRIFT
EVERY BANKING ADVANTAGE \\ •.II ABLE AT THE CENTRAL In the selection of a bank an experi--rcc'l business man will choose an Int tut : on wtveh stands well because of the principles to which it adheres in the conduct of all its business. The same standards that govern such nun :n the choice of their financial connection are equally impertant to depositors of all classes. A strong sense of respons' bility—like that at the Central National Bank—is most Important ... it is one of the fundamentals of good management. What’s more, at the Central you are assured of every essential banking advantage. such as facilities covering business and p-rsona! banking: trust and safe eposit requirements: persona] con-sid<-rat : on of any transaction. All the Cential departments v.dll serve you along lines in keeping with your prefermces and needs. "The thing I like is the way the men fit 'he Centre! handle me." a man rer.iark d recently. That is a conventional remark, and it was intends,! as a compliment and in that sense appreciated Yet it s not an expression which appeals to the average person. Men or women do not want to be "handled” when they come to their bank In all seriousness to discuss a financial problem. They are much m-re interested in the way the men and women of the liflnk "handle" themselves. Take the matter of bank loans. The bar : is very desirous of lending money. They want good loans. When a person comes to borrow money, they want the r, nk .fficers to discuss and analyze the situation intelligently and seriously. If the loan is sound they expect to get it. If for any reason the 1c an can not be mo 'e. they expect an intelligent explantation as to why it cannot be granted. AU this is deteimined by the way the bank nun h indies' himself and not tha customer. The same is tiue in service lendeied by the tellers, in the safe deput vault or any other department. In th> Central every memlicr of the staff in intefeste 1 in "handi ng" himself or herself well. The lesult will always be a pleased customer. POOR RICHARD T> . who having nothing to lie troubled at will l.\ troubled at nothing.”
