Show THE BIG THREE The country banker, the country newspaper and the country doctor are three pillars of stability necessary to any community. The country banker is no longer merely a money loaner. The act of loaning the money is today almost a side issue compared to the problems a banker must help his customers cus-tomers solve, before a decision to borrow bor-row or loan money is made. Much is expected of the banker and if he fails the wrath of the community knows no bounds. Money is needed to develop the resources re-sources of the country and the bank is looked to as the source from which help come. Bankers realize today that community commun-ity and farm development rest largely on industrial development and stability stabil-ity and any agitation or conditions which threaten this stability automatically automa-tically undermine the credit of the community. |
