George Washington Never Slept Here! T et’s talk about your Security and about SECURITY NA¬ TIONAL BANK. The future of both can be inseparable. The decision is yours. AVTe’re not the oldest nor the largest Bank in the Washington area. ’ V Abraham Lincoln was never a depositor and George Washington never slept here. Jh fact, figures published on July 19 by the Washington STAR indicate that there’s been precious little sleeping by SECURITY NATIONAL BANK since its 1960 founding. We take pride in re-publishing the following deposit totals of SECURITY as listed in the STAR, which dramatize our solid growth: June 29, 1963 April 15, 1964 June 30, 1964 $6,818,315 $10,483,722 $11,017,322 The trend is markedly toward suburban banking and SECURITY NAIIONAL BANK is an outstanding example of a successful Washington suburban financial institution featuring “banking by mail. Overseas Americans, long accustomed to the names of a mere half-dozen or so Washington banks, have a shock in store. Many factors, not the least of them the population explosion, have drastically changed the banking habits of Americans, and produced suburban banks offering numerous advantages over old-line institutions headquartered in downtown, congested areas. In fact, suburban Virginia and Maryland banks in the area contiguous to the District of Columbia now are growing faster than those of “downtown Washington,” according to the STAR in the same July 19 article. And its figures prove conclusively that SECURITY NATIONAL BANK is among the leaders of these suburban banks in solid growth. So it’s easy to see why more and more Americans, at home and abroad, are “banking in person and “banking by mail” with SECURITY.
