which is an all-time high.
Highly Pleased With Res ults
The officers and directors of these three great banks are highly pleased with the res ults attained during the year 1959.
W. O. Osborn, president of the three Culver -managed Marshall County banks, reported that deposits in many banks
had declined during the past year but that he was proud and happy to announce that the deposits of these three banks had
slightly increased during the past year, which he felt was largely due to the services which these banks were rendering
to the public and the fact that they had paid the highest rate of interest on deposits permitted by law.
lServe Enlarged Territory
President Osborn also stated that the territory served by them had been enlarged and extended
to areas the banks had never served before.

Also Hampton Boswell, also of Culver , an officer and director of these banks, and also the manager
I of State Exchange Finance Company, reports that 1959 was a banner year for the Finance Company
in every department, and that the business of this company, which is owned by the same stockholders
who own the stock of the three banks, is now larger than a great many country banks.
Appreciate Public's Confidence
The officers, directors, and employees deeply appreciate the confidence and the business with
which so many people have favored them
