over California, drawing population and
capital from the Golden State.
Mr. Witten, who started the bank
two years ago, has made a host of
friends here, and his close attention to
business and his absolutely straight­
forward methods has placed the Central
Point bank in the very front rank
among similar institutions in the smaller
cities o f Oregon. The bank is firmly
established and enjoying the patronage
and confidence o f the community.
Mr. Witten and his most estimable
family will be missed from the social
and business life o f the town, and the
Herald is informed that only considera­
tions relating to his health induced him
to give up the business he has so firmly
established, and to sees a home else­
where.
