COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY
Deposit Increase Nearly 50%
Coquille’s financial institution, the
First National Bank, fairly represents
the general business in Coquille and
its improvement during the year 1936
in its report made for the close of
business December 31.
Deposits
have Increased from
$617,009.77 a year ago, to $909,890.74
a week ago, a boost of 47.5 per cent
over its December, 1935, report. Total
resources have increased $298,122.53
during the same period, from $6^8,-
388.43 to $886,510.96. It is now ip tta
million dollar bank class.
j.... ’’
Cash and exchange have risen from
$339,327.89 to $669,423.32, while loans i
and discounts have remained practi
cally stationary—$76,901.37 a year
ago and $76,300.94 the last day of the
year.
There is not in the county or the
state, and it probably goes for the na
tion, too, a bank on a more sound and
substantial basis than is Coquille's
First National.
