FIRST NATIONAL BANK IS PEOPLE ....Serving the Banking Needs of Other Oregon People This First National manager at Prineville, and a stockman are talking over a new, prac tical concept in meat production. Oregon, deficient in meat animals, and high in feed production, can benefit from feedlot operations which can increase the value of each beef animal from $75 to $100, while consuming the feed without trips by freight to mid-West feedlota. A steer can gain a pound of marketable weight on from to 7 $4 pounds of feed-allows a stock producer to intensify his operation with capital rather than the purchase of additional land. John Locke, assistant manager of th Hepp ner First National Branch, Is part of a friendly staff whose years of banking expe rience total 100.
