State Bank of Echo Has Served Pa trons Many Years: Larger Bank ing Facilities Available. The first National Bank of Port- and has assumed the deposit liabili ty of the State Bank of Echo and beginning the first- of the week checks drawn on the Echo bank are being honored at the Pendleton Branch of the First National, says C. C. Clarkson, manager of the Pen lieton branch. The safe deposit box es at Echo are not being moved to Pendleton but it is explained that lepositors can arrange to have the contents of their boxes transferred to Pendleton. The bank at Echo was first orga- nized many years ago and at first was conducted as the Bank of Echo. In 1924 it was reorganized as the State Bank of Echo. The officers ire Joseph Cunha, president, Fred W. Andrews, vice president and Geo rge J. Mitchell, cashier. The build ing at Echo is owned personally by Mr. Cunha. Mr. Mitchell will remain at Echo to close up the affairs of the bank. The Echo bank is In a sound posi tion but changes in the banking laws make it difficult for It to carry on with loans as heretofore. “Echo is especially busy in the winter when stock men move their stock in from the range. A great quantity of alfalfa hay is raised in the surrounding district which makes it an economical place to win ter stock,” says E. B. MacNaughton, president of First National Bank. “Moving the banking business to endleton will not greatly incon- enlence these stockmen and will make available for them larger banking facilities than they have < njoyed before." The Pendleton branch of the First National is sending out letters to all the depositors at Echo giving them nformation as to procedure con- cerning their accounts. The sugges- ion is made that depositors secure First National Bank check books, ither here or from the bank at Jcho.

The son hates the sausage business, and wants to go into something "re fined,” like/ investment ; hanking; and that brings plenty of trouble to him.
