Call Statements Of Banks In This Issue Reflect Good Condition Call statements of the First National Bank of Sheridan ami the State Bank of Grand Ronde are carried on page 5 of this issue of the Times, The First National being the popular bank of most Willamina people will be of especial interest to them. The total of the banks resources now run well over the two million mark and detailed figures show that the First National is in a splendidly healthy condition. The First National is particu larly fitted to be of the utmost service to the average business man, not too great to cater to the most financially modest per son and not too small to meet the needs of the industrial concerns of the locality. The First National advertises that its service is at your dis posal and today business people and the everyday concern are turning to their home institu tion’s mutual help and coopera tion. While the Grand Ronde bank makes no effort to extend its sphere of usefulness, the bank is a very potent factor in the business affairs of the Grand Ronde community and Mr. Bar ry, the cashier, is the courteous and efficient chief officer of the bank.
