Conduct ed on a broad basis, yet at all times conservative, It has stood every test and weathered every financial storm which has swept over the country. As Us name Implies It was the Fhrst National bank of Southern Oregon. The officers of the bank have al ways taken a large share in the work of developing the resources of the county. Oldtimers will recall with Interest the many meetings held in the bank parlors on any occasion when the financial interests of the community were under advisement. The old "Board of Trade" held its meetings there; the Josephine Coun ty Merchants' Association was or ganized there; the Grants Pass Miners' Association, and many other movements for the upbuilding of the town and county freely used the bank parlors for their meeting places and the officers gladly pave what , assistance they could to all such or ganisations. January 2, 1S90, the bank opened for business with deposits of $13, SRG.no. Since that dale the bank has grown steadily In deposits and ability to serve the community. At the present time the deposits of the bank are over $000,000.00, and the total resources about $75n,000.00.
