NDELIBLY inscribed in the handwriting of those who witnessed and
' helped to promote the advancement of the Pacific Northwest, is the story
of Kadd & Tilton Bank, the first financial institution in the Pacific
Northwest territory. Today another chapter is being- added, for Ladd &
Tilton Bank, the pioneer, is passing its sixty-third milestone.
History makes the Future
Based oh the historicatpast in which Ladd & Tilton Bank has been such
an influence will be the history-making events of the future. And coinci
dent with the progress of this territory is that of the entire Unite4 States.
With much interest, therefore, is the whole nation viewing the great in
dustrial development, the new and. enlarged commercial activities and
the assimilation of new ideas in the Pacific Northwest. Realizing that
the expansion of this comparatively new territory with its large and
varied undeveloped resourcelsill be largely patterned after the progres
sive steps of the past, the pages of the Pacific Northwest's history reveal
maiw interesting things.
A series of informative advertisements concerning many important
historic events of interest have been issued in booklet form by Ladd &
Tilton Bank. , This booklet chronicles the successive commercial eras
from 1859-1921; Westerners especially will find in this condensed ver
sion a new insight 'into the spirit' of the Great Northwest. A copy of
this booklet is yours for tKe asking.
