The business life of a city, and its
trade territory can develop and ex
pand only in keeping with the growth
and expansion of its banking institu
tions. 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.
The bank maintains a safe deposit
