Banks and other financial institutions often gave careful consideration to
the symbols they selected for use on their bank notes, drafts, and stock
certificates. They picked symbols that conveyed a feeling of strength,
trust and friendliness to their potential clients, and that is precisely
why the officers of the National Rockland Bank of Boston chose Santa
Claus. This universal symbol of trust and friendship is highly coveted by
collectors, and opportunities to obtain certificates like these are few and
far between. Don’t miss this rare opportunity.�����������������������������Est.
