That a good banking connection is a mutually advantageous relationship enabling both the customer and the bank to make money. 2. That a customer who does not keep a good bank balance should not expect to get as much credit accommodation from his bank as the customer who keeps a good-sized balance. This applies equally to individuals carrying checking accounts. The more money you keep in the bank, the better your banking credit will be. Moral: Carry a good sized checking account at all times. It will pay you—more than you may realize. (lisher of the Port Hope Guide. Saturday Evenings 7 to9 .Y"NEWB ‘TRUSTCO.
