MEDFORD NATIONAL BANK IN 1935 The Medford
branch of the U.S. National bank is currently commemorat
ing the 25th anniversary of the firm's establishment Dec. 2,
1935. Branch Manager Allan F. Perry can also boast that
his father, J. A. Perry, was a stockholder in the original
bank, which opened April 30, 1906. During the past 25
U.S. National To
Observe 25 Years
In City This Week
years several noteworthy advancements for customer con
venience have been made, and the next quarter of a cen
tury should also see growth and success, according to Perry.
The Medford National bank shown above is located at
Central ave. and Main St., the location of the present U.S.
National bank branch.
This week the Medford
branch of the U. S. National
bank will observe its 25th an
niversary of its establishment,
Dec. 2, 1935. After 25 years,
with six times as many em
ployees and after undergoing
two major remodeling jobs,
the organization reviews a pe
riod of "banking success."
Friday, Dec. 2, not only will
commemorate an anniversary
for the Medford branch, but
also marks the passage of 25
years of service for U. S. Na
tional on the part of Allan F.
Perry, manager, whose far ''y
roots go back into Medford's
banking history. His father,
J. A. Perry, was a stockholder
in the original Medford Na
tional bank, which was open
ed April 30, 1906.
Actually, a banking history
of Medford is not complete
without a mention of its origi
nation, which in this case oc
curred in the old mining town
of Jacksonville. In 1856, C. C.
Beekman opened a bank
which enjoyed a very "rare"
56 years of existence. During
that time, with the exception
of a limited period, there
were no loans on the books.
Dividends Paid
Despite this unusual con
dition, a consistent dividend
was paid to stockholders
through income received from
exchange, express charges,
and for keeping of gold dust
and coin. (
Miners from the hills of
Jackson and Josephine coun
ties would come to Jackson
ville with as much as $4,000
to $5,000 of gold dust in a
leather pouch. This was usu
ally deposited in the bank for
safe keeping, or exchanged
for gold coin. The bank, in
turn, would send the gold dust
to San Francisco.
A charge of 1 per cent a
month was made for this serv
ice of safe keeping. Sometimes
miners took a receipt, but
more often they did not, mere
ly leaving the gold dust with
their name attached for fear
a receipt, if taken, would be
lost in the hills.
Gold gave way to pears, and
in 1912 this area's first bank
discontinued, still paying all
its depositers in full.
Normal Growth
A period of normal growth
followed the opening of the
Medford National bank in
1906, and it was not until the
early 1930's that a need for
the advantages of consolida
tion became apparent. Conse
quently, In December, 1935,
the Medford bank became a
branch of U. S. National.
The first manager of the
Medford branch, George Frey,
stayed with the bank until
his death in 1946. At that time
Allan Perry, who had previ
ously been note teller and as
sistant manager, took over the
manager's position.
Medford hasn't stopped
growing and neither has the
bank. In 1955, a bank-from-your-car
facility was installed
and a major expansion proj
ect completed.
"From all indications, our
next 25 years of business will
be marked with the same type
of growth and success that
seems to be associated with
the Medford area," Manager
Perry predicts.

visory group aimed at better

Crowd Jeers U.S.
Governors During
Sao Paulo Visit
Sao Paulo, Brazil - (UPD -Twenty-eight
touring U. S.
governors Saturday received
their first taste of anti-Americanism
in their visit to Ar
gentina and Brazil from a
small group of students who
shouted "Cuba yes, Yankees
no" outside their hotel.
The Sao Paulo university
students picketed the hotel
with pro-Castro placards, jeer
ed the governors as they de
parted for Santos and argued
with passersby.
There was no violence and
police did not try to disperse
the demonstrators.
Complete Tour
The governors, who yester
day completed a ten-city good
will tour of Argentina and
Brazil were greeted by signs
proclaiming: "We want Cas
tro! Long live Cubal Get out
of Cubal Vote for China (Com
munist) China at the United
Nations!"
One sidewalk observer
shouted at the students: "For
get Cuba! Save Hungary!
Freedom for Hungarians!"
Later the governors held a
news conference.
Gov. Orville L. Freeman of
Minnesota said that Ameri
cans felt great sympathy for
Fidel Castro and received him
with open arms after the rev
olution but that "when Castro
stepped up his attacks and lies
against the United States the
sympathy faded."
He said that "today Castro
represents a new kind of Im
perialism that free people ev
rywhere want to fight and
defeat"
