99 years of growth - I spotted this ad on the street today and foolishly didn't get the whole of the wording in the picture.  The Central Bank of India - Central to you since 1911.  Where growing is a way of life. :)
It struck me that given the climate in India and the 99 years of banking history that their little illustration with a few leaves really wasn't very impressive.  Perhaps it is, however, realistic. Just imagine what it could have looked like if they too had invested heavily in the American subprime market - perhaps a cotton plant after the Boll weevel got to it, or a wheat crop after locusts landed.
