So bonds are is- sued to finance the work. The buyer of the bonds becomes, indirectly, a benefactor of the community even though the securities were purchased merely' Las a sound business proposition. "D- 0 -- '- Banks of the Florida National Group have a large holding of, Florida city and county bonds- $19,500,000 worth of such bonds, in fact. These bonds were bought' as a good investment, yes, but also because they represented an opportunity to contribute to' Florida's progress. Included in this $19,500,000 total are $5,236,925 in bonds issued by eleven North Florida counties and communities there- in. Their purchase by the Florida National Group Banks as an in-' vestment has enabled these coun- ties, towns, cities and road and school districts to keep in the vanguard of progress. We might' have chosen to invest our money elsewhere, but we are proud toi say that we preferred to invest it where it would benefit these North Florida counties and their political subdivisions.!
