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

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

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

business affairs of the Grand
Ronde community and Mr. Bar
ry, the cashier, is the courteous
and efficient chief officer of the
bank.

Willamina’s Bond Premiere
was a very successful event
from the standpoint of bonds
sold as well as the interest it
served to arouse in the campaign
and local buying which followed
the premiere itself.
The premiere, given to the
community through the cour
tesy of the motion picture in
dustry and Mr. W. H. Hibbeit,
owner of the Gayway theatre,
featured one of the newest top
pictures, starring Bob Hope and
Betty Hutton in “Let’s Face It,”
also included a comedy and late
war and news pictures.
While the crowd was small,
owing to the short time given
to advertising; they were en
thusiastic and bought generous
ly and not just once during the
evening, but several times as
the show was held up for the
convenience of buyers. A total
of $4662.25 of bonds were sold
and largely in small amounts.
Special credit is due the First
National Bank of Sheridan for
their courtesy in having a com
plete staff of bond writers pres
ent, which included, Miss Fran
ces Papstein, cashier; Mr. A. L.
Coit. assistant cashier and Miss
Arlene Grauer, clerk. The entire
proceeds were credited by Mr.
Scroggin, president of the bank,
to the Willamina sales.
