CORNER JACKSON AND FOURTH STREETs-CAP-
ITAL 81, 000,0
This institution is the Oldest banking
house now in existence in st. Paul. and also
in Minnesota. 1t was first established I'M
der the banking laws Of the state in 1859, by
the Thompson Brothers, j. Z. and Horace
Thompson, with capital of $4,000, and
their bank was located in tue two-story brick
building on the corner of third and Mime
sofa streets, where the large MannheImer
block now stands. They remained in that
building until 1868. In the meantime the
brothers erected what is known as the Thomp-
son block, three story cdifice nearly oppo-
site to their old bank on Third street. With
in few weeks after the passage Of the ma
ttonal banking law in 1864, the First Ma
tional bank was organized, with a capital of
$3.50, 600, of which J. +. Thompson was
president and Horace Thompson cashier
Here the bank remained fortwenty- one years
and only removed few weeks ago, to the
new and magnificent building erected by
the bank on the northwest corner of jackson
and Fourth streets. This building is one of
the finest in st. Paul or the Northwest, of
great architectural beauty and immense sol
idity. 1t his Il frontage of 80 feet on Jack
son by 100 on Fourth street, aud is four sto-
res above high basement. 1t is built of
red pressed brick with ornate trimmings of
terra cotta and pink stone, and is as abso-
iutcly fire proof as it is possible to make a
building. The inside finish is on a massive
and eleganC plan, that of the rooms oceu-
pied by the bank being especially rich and
tasty. Perhaps the reader can form some
idea Of it upon learning the fact that it was
erected at cost Of $40, 900. The contrast
between it and the little brick building in
which the bank started is scarcely greater
than the difference between the amount of
its first capital stock of $4,000 and its pres
ent capital of $1,000, 900. The business of
the bank when it started was limited to few
hundred thousand dollars annually, and now
it handles over 800, 900. At the close
of business on June 20, 1904, the officers
and directors issued the following statement
of its resources and liabilities:

The extraordinary and rapid develop ment
of this northwestern empire, oy the incoming
of settlers from all parts Of the world, aud
the founding of new homes, has necessitated
the formation Of more establishments TO pro-
vide for the ever increasing demands Of the
people The increase in population on the
wheat areas Of the central, north and through
the country so recently opened by the
Northern Pacific railway has simply been
enormous in fact the ratio Of increase both
in population and productions have in the
past i've years averaged probably fifty Der

THIRD wACoUTA SITS.
This firm occupies the large and commodi-
Gus five story building and basement located
on the southeast corner of Third and Wacou-
ia streets. No business house in the North
west he's stepped to the front more rapidly
than has this one; although not yet two
years old they have succeeded in building up
trade second to no other in this section.
Such work speaks for itself. Ample capital,
business talent, energy, perseverance and
push have evidently united to produce such
record The firm is to be envied the
superior facilities it has the good fortune to
possess for the handling OF staple goods in
its line.
The location of their house is the best in
the city for the grocery business. 1t is but
block from all freight depots, and their
large and commodious warehouses are stu
ated short step below them in direct com
munication with the railroad tracks, They
are thus enabled to receive and ship their
goods at a minimum expense, saving for
for their customers quite an item Of drayage
and the extra cast of rehanaIing all goods.
Glidden, Griggs s. Co. have thirteen travel
ing statesmen on the road and cover more
territory than any house in the city. They
have resident agent with headquarters in
Deadwood, D. T., whorepresents them in the
Black Hills; resident representative in
Minneapolis, Mimi. and representatives re.
siding in Winnipeg and Fort Arthur, Canada.
Their western trade, it is conceded, is in ad-
vance of that OF any other house, and in all
new fields they take the lead.
We wish to extend for them a cordial in
vitation TO the merchants of the Northwest tc
to make the offices of this enterprising firm
their headquarters. whenever in the city.
1t is the chief source Of pride to the city oil
st. Paul that she has attracted to herself such
large and well organized business in stitu-
tons as this one. Glidden, Griggs & Co. are
but the representatives in their line of the
commercial strength which ST. Paul has de-
veloped in every line Of trade.

The bank has for period of quarter of q
century had career of uninterrupted pros
perity. It has weathered every financial
crisis, aud while many of the leading banks
of the couGtrv and of the world have gone
down in times of panic, thus tending to Gre
ate distrust in regard to the stability of all
others, there never has been a moment
when single creditor of the First National
bank OF s.. Paul hsd the least fear in regard
to its stability. These fSets speak volumes
in praise of those By whom its affairs have
been managed during the past twenty-five
years. It's present president, Mr.. Il. P. Up

teas en- route from Japan. The company are
the largest importers of teas west of New
York, except perhaps two. Last year they
imported 10000 chests and this year their re-
ceipts will be double that amount. They find
market for these goods not only through
out their regular northern territory, but sell
great quantities to dealers in Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. They are
also extensive importers of coffees, of which
they received $4,000 bags last year.
The Minnesota Coffee and Spice company
is the successor of the old firm of Granger Il
Hodge, established in 1857, and is continued
under Mr.. Granger's management. This is
the best equipped establishment of the kind
in the northwest, and its goods, including
the famous s'White Seal' baking powder, are
deservedly popular throughout the land.

DRUGS PAINTS & OILS.

That there is constantly marked increase
in the sale of these articles will go without
the saying. The rapid increase in the num-
Der of the new houses not only in st. Paul,
but all over this vast Northwest requires an
immense amount of paints and oils to beau
tify aud preserve them, to say nothing of the
other uses to which they are put. and so long
as man is mortal he will use drugs in the vain
hope to prolong his mortality. The sales i'll
this line last year amounted to 50, 500, 900.
For the first half the present year they reach
the sum of 81, 55O, 900.
