Gentlemen: From tho organization of this bank In 1905 with a capital of $25,000 to this date when Its resources aro ?t, 005, 390. 37, I have been Its president and man ager. From Its second year It haa paid dividends to its stockholders. Its annual profits since that timo to the present liavo been as follows: For tho year 1908 they wero 14 per cent; for tho year 1909 they wero 19 per cent; for the year 1910 they wero 26 1-4 per cent, and for tho , first nine months of tho present year they are 21 1-2 per cent; so It appears that under my management tho First Na tional bank has been qulto profitable to Its stockholders. At this date tho bank Is as sound nml solvent as twenty dollar gold pieces. It has an unblemished reputa tion for fair nnd hpuorablo dealing with all of Its customers. And It has a beautiful new homo almost com pleted. Your determination under this state of facts to chango tho man agement, but to lcavo tho presidency In my hands, seems rather ungra cious. My record as president and manager of tho First National bank Is now finished, it needs no praise, and no defense. With great gratitude for Divine help and tho steadfast con fidence of my many friends, I now resign tho presidency of tho First National bnnk to tnko effect Wednes day, Octobor 12, A. D. 1911.
