CFFIcE OF -HE FIRST NATIONAL BANK, |
LIS VEGAS, n. A., sepS. 20. 1883. I |
To Western Bankers:
1t Ia generally admitted by that part OF
the commercial world interested n she
production Of beef on the western ranges
that remarkable causes have been In oper
alton the past few years affecting the live
stock industry as well as those sllied to it.
The banker and merchant classes In par
ticulsr have shared in the misfertunes
that have overssken the beef producer.
Their interests are Intimately connected
with the business Of cattle raising, and
anything which tends toward the prosper
ity Of the live stock producing interests ia
beneh. to bankers, merchants, and the
nublic generally. In the vigorous effort
nor being Emsde by cattlemsn, cattle
feeders, butchers and others to hld q
remedy for the abuses which have be-
come part OF the cattle raising and the
handling OF the meat pro-
duct, there should be no uncertain
declaration as TO oar position ut
this time, when, by well directed energy
coupled with the intelligence Of so many
classes OF men striving for common ad-
vantage, much may be done to relieve the
sssoclsted interests from the depressing
Influences which BOW surround them. For
this reason would ssk western bankers
to be presens Ct the conference Of the sen
ste committee appointed to iavessi
gate the beef question, the csttlemeE, cat
tie feeders and butcnerS, which will be
