"It is our duty to arouse the individual banker to thought and action; to stimulate him to do something constructive, to put something back in effort and money in return for that which he has received; otherwise, he is not unlike un-like the farmer who takes from the soil year after year and puts nothing back in the way of soil fertility." |
