Total Observation-Disclosures 14U,oSA 90
The above statement is one of which
any similar institution might feel justly
loud, but conside, ing the age Of this
PROSPEROUS bank, it is even more remark
able, and indicates clearly that it is man
aged with rare ability. Its cashier, {.
N. Sprague, by his painstaking atten-
t; III to detail and his broad comprehen-
sion of general financial affairs, has built
up for the bank an eryiablc reputation
at home and abroad.
The First National Bank opened its
doors for business on the 10Th day ct
May, 1854, but was not in possession OF
it's last installment of capital until five
months later It's existence is due to the
enerey and enterprise of Hon. Henr :
Keller, who enlisted $4,000 in capital,
nearlv all of it being subsc. bed by orr
own citizens He was then made its
president, position which he has ever
since held with credit and honor. His
aggressive business methods, tempered
BY those more consel yative and careful
which characte ze the cashier, makes a
happy combination which has proved as
acceptable to the public, the patrons OF
the bank, as it is to the stockholders.
In it's management they nave associated
with them Capt. S. NJ. Bruce, the vice
president, who is WE'LL 1own throughout
central Minnesota as veteran business
man whose methods have brought per-
sonal SUCCESS and prosperity. His advice
is invaluable on all questions :rvoll -ng
the prospe. ty of the bank.
Ever since it commenced business the
