ROY RUPERT BANKS, Business Man. Two trips to Hawaii were made by Roy R. Banks 
before he decided to locate in the islands. He is assistant manager of the 
Honolulu Photo Supply Co., and is prominent in religious activities as a 
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which he is a licensed preacher.
  Born in Canistota, S.D., March 23, 1885, to Edward Irving and Mae Sophia 
Banks, his education was obtained in the grammar and high schools. He arrived 
here with his parents in 1900. After about one year in the islands the family 
returned to the mainland, but Mr. Banks joined the “come back club” in 1909 to 
accept a position with the Honolulu Photo Supply Co. After six years he was 
appointed a buyer for the concern and in 1922 he was elevated to the dual 
position of sales manager and assistant manager.
  He has taken an active part in the work of the Sunday School department of 
the Methodist Church, being assistant superintendent. He married Maybelle 
Otey, Oct. 8, 1911, and they have four children.
