directors. The bank has enjoyed a steady growth since its organization and at
this writing has a surplus and undivided profits of $10,221, and the approxmate
average deposits amount to $210,000. This bank has the largest deposits of any
bank in the county outside of Great Bend and is one of the county's substantial
financial institutions. The bank is located on the main street in a building
that is furnshed [sic] and equipped in a neat, convenient manner for the
carrying on of a general banking business. The interests of the bank's customers
are carefully looked after by the officers of the bank and by careful management
and by the use of modern banking ideas this institution has gained the
confidence of the people of that section of the county.
