S. Ladd, together with A. E. and C. E. Tllton of New York City. It was the first bank In the Northwest outside of Portland, and was open for business early in 1869., or thirty-five years ago. The first depositor was Dr. H. Carpenter, who was well known over Oregon, and the signature books of the bank, so to speak, are autograph albums of the pioneers and the early busi ness men of the Willamette Valley as well as those of the present date. The signature of many an old deed or will has been verified by reference to their pages. In 1883 the firm of Ladd & Bush liquidated, Mr. Bush continuing the businpss, however, under the same name. In 1900 he took Into partnership his son A. N. Bush. The growth of the bank and the growth of the middle Willamette Valley are propor tionally the same. The deposits at the end of the first year were about $100,000; they at this time run Into the mil lions, an Index to the prosperity of Oregon and the. confidence In which the bank is held by the people. The management of the bank has been along conserv ative lines. It has granted its clients all the courte sies accorded by an obliging and carefully conducted house. Even In 1893 and the subsequent years of panic Its customers were not denied reasonable privi leges, and aid was 'extended to a number of other banks. The bank from ts start has kept rank among the substantial and strongest of the-Northwest. LADD '& BUSH BAN KERS SALEM OREGON CITIZENS' NATIONAL BANK BAKER CITY " OREGON W. E. GRACE, President. , S.
