First National Bank
Burns, Oregon
To my friend and Patrons of the
Flrit Nat tonal Hank:
With the clone of the present month, the writer, after twelve
and one-half year service aa cashier of fhl hank, retire from ita a.
tlvc manairement to aasume responsibilities elsewhere.
Ihiring these yearn the bank haa grown and prospered, develop
ing from Ita childhood, no to speak, Into a strong, solid, financial In
stitution, commandiiiK i-expcct and attention far beyond the geogra
phical linen of south-eastern Oregon, whone Interentn It has aided
and helped to develop, and whose patronn It ha no effectively nerv
ed. , , ...
To my many friends who have aaslsted by their patronage and
kindly word of commendation In the upbuilding of this Inntlu
i Ion, I desire to extend my heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation.
While distance may separate us, my Interest In thin section and Its
people will continue, and my mind will frequently dwell upon your
problem, and my energies will le extended In your In-half whcn-
ever they may le required.
'With the acceptance of my resignation, our Hoard of Director
advanced Mr. Welcome to the vice presidency, thus bestowing a fit
ting recognition to an efficient and painstaking official, who ha
served the hank faithfully since its first conception, now over sixteen
years. It was a gracious tribute, merited and deserved.
As cashier, the directors elected Mr. K. 11. t'onser, who was
personally recommended by the writer, anil whom I have known for
over twenty years. Mr. t'onser, both by training and experience, In
well qualified for the position. Ills previous connection with Port
land banking houses and with financial Institutions In the) stock sec
tions of central Oregon particularly fit him for thla new responnl
bility. With two nurh hankers an Mr. Welcome and Mr. t'onser at the
helm, and the co-operation of an efficient and courteous office force,
backed by the same conservative board of dins-tors, the public Is as
sured of the same treatment an has been accorded It In the pant. I
nhnll retain my stockholdings in this bank, so shall consequently have
a direct personal Interest In It, and shall therefore keep a watchful
eye upon Ita affairs. 1 hope to frequently visit Hums, so an to keep
more rlonely In touch with your affairs, and to learn of your condi
tions and possible needs.
In conclusion, I earnestly urge my many friends to extend to the
new management the name consideration and courtesy they mani
fested In me during the yearn I have lived and labored among then.
Very sincerely yours,
J. Ii. HIM.
