The First National believes that there is a moral to be drawn from the story of Gaylord Shively... a moral that emphasizes the grass root initiative, the imagination and integrity which characterizes the Oregon fanner. The First National Bank of Portland is interested vitally in soil conservation and reclamation and in all projects that advance the interests of Oregon agricul­ ture.
