^2|0ME people think that we
could get along without
banks. Perhaps we could,
but it is a pretty well established
fact that no community, rural or
urban, can do without the con-
veniences afforded for the trans-
action of its business affairs by a
well equipped bank, and progress
very rapidly.
The Yale State Bank was es-
tablished in 1902 by Dr. E. G.
is pretty well indicated by its
bank statements from time to
time. The Yale State Bank has
always stood for anything tend-
ing to advance the community,
town or country, and its growth
means that Yale’s sphere of bus-
iness influence is growing.
The presidency of the hank has
changed twice since it began
business, but Mr. Adams has re-
mained at the Cashier’s desk

man of superior character who is
well known in this section, has
managed the gin during its two
seasons of operation and has giv-

Maramec in 1903, having
marketed that season’s cotton
crop at his new Maramec gin.
We found Mr. Jones a splendid en it a splendid prestige in this
man to do business with, that farming community,

quently “as old as Yale.” Pend-
ing the completion of its banking
house it occupied a corner in the
old frame building used as a store
by F. M. Burdick, moving into
its own quarters early in 1903;
and it has been right there, at
the old stand, ever since.
For several years the bank’s

held. J. L. Stuart, the efficient
Assistant Cashier, has been con-
nected with the bank for the
past two years, coming here
from Glencoe.

deposits barely equalled its capi- try, and since the passage of the
commonly energetic and capable
personality assured his business
success, as we have never seen a
man handle more good work of
as great a variety than that gen-
tleman got away with during that
ginning season. It has not been
our good fortune to meet Mr.
Jones since that time, but in the
meanwhile'he has succeeded in
extending his business operations
until something like a dozen gins
are now under his control.
The Jones Cotton Co. built its
Yale gin in the summer of 1910v
completing construction in tiple
to gin about 700 bales that sea-
son. Up to Saturday evening,
last, it had ginned 975 bales of
the 1911 crop, with about 100
bales of unginned cotton in stor-
plete cleaning and unloading ap-
paratus. A new cleaner was put
in this fall and the ginning ca-
pacity will be increased for next
season by the addition of another
80-saw stand. A new boiler and
engine is to be put in and ail the
machinery thoroughly over-
hauled. The cotton house has a
capacity of 100 bales and the
warehouse will store 60 tons of
seed, the scajes arul^ither minor
Equipment being firsfetass.
Fit is reported that Mr. Jones
is well pleased wjtlj his Yale lo-
cation, and we take the liberty
of remarking that our people are
equally pleased to have a man of
his talents and energy interested
in their town. Y\e welcome the

N 1906 the Farmers’* Educa-
tional and Co-Operative Un-
ion organized at Yale and
one of its first efforts to secure
better conditions for this farm-
ing community was the organi-
zation of a ginning company,
which was chartered July of that
year. Building operations being
started late gave the company a
short season, which, however,
proved quite successful under
the management of W. S. Harts-
horne. O. B. Ford was put in
charge of the business in 1907,
but suffered the misfortune of
having his career of usefulness
ended by losing an arm in the
gin saws. In 1908 J. D. Alexan-
der assumed the position of man-
ager and is now completing his
fourth year in that capacity. w
Mr. Alexander hps taiten two
terms in the cotton school at
Stillwater, completed the course
from their investment, apd we
feel that all of them can well af-
ford to let the money invested
gro as a contribution to the gem
eral welfare. In our opinion no
institution previously installed
did more to advance the progress
of Yale than the farmers’ gin.
The gin has been operated un-
der lease this season and, last by
the Oklahoma Cotton Oil Co,
which pays $1 per bale royalty
on all the cotton handled. We
understand this to be a very lib-
eral proposition on the oil com-
pany's part, and that no other
leased gjn on the M. K. & T. or
Santa Fe lines is operated on
terms as liberal tq the owners.
