gan business Monday morning, May 22nd, hav-
ing purchased certain assets and assumed cer-
tain liabilities of the State Bmk of Calumet.
The Capital and Surplus of the new
BanK is $27.5U0 and it began business with no
borrowed money. Tne officers of the new Bank
are: Leslie Thompson, Pres., Maurice Thomp-
son, Cashier, L. T. Samuelson, Will Leighton
and G. S- Weitzenhoffer, directors.
The customers of the new Bank will be
given the same courteous treatment as has
been given by the old State Bank of Calumet,
and by reason of our connections with the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and the
Security National Bank, one of the Strongest
Banks of Otdahoma City, we are able to give
our customers greater service in every way
than was possible before.
The old State BanK of Calumet thanks
each and every one for the loyal support and
confidence given it during the 21 years of its
existence.
The new First National Bank will strive
to merit your support and confidence for as
many more years.
dates to get far in arrears. We
have offered every inducement
that we can consistently and'yet
some fail to take note of them
and act, We feel that money
matters have been hard with
imany of us, we feel our own con
dition most keenly, yet we have
asked that those who cannot pos-
sibly pay up, that they come in
© when in town and we will try to
® carry them over a little longer.
Sonie have failed to do this much.
With those conditions facing us,
we feel justified in dropping
these who will not even come in
and talk it over, from our list.
In some instances this may be a
financial loss to us, yet we can
not violate the postal laws, and
will have to drop those, as much
I as we dislike to do so.
