AN HONORABLE HISTORY.
Tho history OF banking in Wheeling 10 q
record Of integrity and intelligence unsur.
passed. Tho men who have been, and
tho men who are, engaged in banking
have always stood among the best In the
city, level.headed, sagacious, honest
men who have placed higher value upon
a good name than upon great riches.
With the exception Of one savings In.
stitution there has never been q bank fail.
ure in Wheeling. At no time has q
Wheeling bank closed It's doors sgainst It's
creditors. All OF them passed safely
through the ordeal OF 1857, when strong
institutions everywhere tottered and fell,
and when the most vigorous were thought
fortunate TO live from day to day.
When civil war came no place was more
exposed than Wheeling, situated in a
State whose secession was forgone con-
clusion, and whose own people were at
first holly divided in sentiment. The war
cloud rested upon Wheeling more heavily
than the smoke from her mills and fur.
nacea. Property Of every kind was in
jeopardy, and the general apprehension
wB8 even greater than tho peril. But not
a Wheeling bank fell. The solid men en-
gagged in Their management and those at
tho back OF them would not have permit
ted q suspension.
1t Ia further to be said with regard 10 the
banks OF the city that the local pride in
thGm Is 80 strong, and the integrity Of
their management 80 confidently believed
In, that none OF them would be permitted
to 20 to the wall. There Ia ample capital
to sustain them and in q dark hour they
would be sustained.
