In this connection Coquille and the. surrounding territory is most fortunate in having a bank of the character of the First National Bank located at the corner of Taylor and First Street. The First National Bank is a mem ber of the Federal Reserve Bank, and is one that can be referred to as a bank that is doing its part in sup port of the government in a financial way. The Federal Reserve Bank is probably one. of the greatest progres sive financial steps that has ever been made in the history of the world for bringing together the entire financial support of people of a country behind a government. This system is recog nized throughout the world as a model since its doors were first opened for business. The following officers are in direct charge of the bank’s daily business: A. J. Sherwood, president; L. H. Haz ard, vice-president; 0. C. Sanford, cashier; ,E. I). Webb and Bess Maury, assistant cashiers; with board of di rectors consisting of A. J. Sherwood, L. H. Hazard, 0. C. Sanford, E. D. Webb, 'C. T. Skeels, R. C. Dement. A better fitted body to direct the affairs of a financial institution and to pass judgment on the financial matters of a community it would be hard to as semble The First National Bank has al- ways shown a ready willingness and an ability to take care of every legi timate banking need of the business of this district.
