(unless you re a CNB customer) One of the basic problems of a “big” bank is the difficulty of maintaining personal contact with a large number of customers. Every bank can be personally involved with its customers when its number of accounts is small. But as a bank grows, all too often it becomes impersonal. City National Bank is among the “big” banks in the area. Yet, we are working very hard to insure that all of our customers (even our student customers) get the full services they need. CNB has young officers working directly with student customers. We call them personal bankers. You can call them friends — and you can see them anytime, any day of the week. Personal service is a big part of big banking at CNB, where helping is our business. member FDIC o n CITY NATIONAL BANK 301 TEXAS AVENUE • 779-5401
