FIRST NATIONAL HAS
' MILLION DOLLARS ON
DEPOSIT, SAYS KIDD
ITS OFFICERS AND MANAGERS
ARE RECOGNIZED AMONG
LEADERS OF STATE. "
OLDEST BANK_IN COUNTY
The Great Increase in Deposits
Demonstrates Prosperity of
Norman People.
Wednesday, January 7, 1920, marked
another epoch in the history of the
First National Bank of Norman, its
deposits on that day amounting to
more than one million dollars; $1,-
•22,000 to be exact.
Several times has its totals reached
the million mark, but this is the first
time, according to Vice-President
Kidd, that the deposits have passed
tke million dollar figure.
It certainly demonstrates not only
the prosperity of the people of Nor-
man and vicinity, but also the abso-
lute confidence they have in the
safety and stability and thorough
solidity of the First National and its
officers and managers.
This bank is the oldest bank in
Cleveland county and from the very
first day it was established it se-
cured and has ever retained the con-
fidence of the public. Never has it
had a backset, but always iias its
progress been upward and onward.
Its officers have always been the
leaders in the community and rec-
ognized as among the best bankers
in the state.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
it has reached the million mark and
is increasing in prestige and influence

I The reason for this unusually large
number, according to Judge Allen,
is that many heads of families, who
have some member who will proba-
bly have to be admitted, move to
Norman, in order that they may be
near the hospital. When the patient
is admitted, Cleveland county is ac-
credited with the entry, when really
