BUSINESS CHANGE-Eight years ago
last fall the Bank of Sank Centre enter
cd upon a business career of ,unbroken
prosperity, and from it's inception has
enjoyed that implicit confidence of the
people to which it is justly entitled. The
bank was owned equally by Solomon
Pendcrgast and Lucas Kells, both old
residents of Sank Centre who had been
long Unidentified with the business in
tcreSts of the community. At that time
therc was but one other bank in western
Stcarns .connty-tLe Citizens-and a
field ready for the new enterprise
was awaiting. 1t sprung into vigorous
existance at a single bound, with ample
capital and what was worth more to it
the fullest confidence of the community.
For more than eight years it has en-
joyed a prosperous, ever-increasirg and
profitable business under the direct
management of Messrs. Pendergast and
Kells, ably supplemented by E. P. Bar
nun, the assistant cashier, and L. NJ.
kells,t the book keeper.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that an important charge would
take place in the proprietorship, and on
Tuesday last the expected happened. Mr.
Pendergast has sold out all his right
title and interest in the bank and it's bus
mess of whatsoever kind, to Mr.. kells, his
former partner, who will continue the
business of the bank
1t is the immediate purpose of Mr.. kells
TO DO 4 full banking business, and no
changes of any kind whatsoever are 0 n
tenplated at present. 1t isnot necessary
Tor the HERALD to introduce Mr.. kells
to the citizens of this vicinity, or of the
state at large. He is we'll known
throughout business and banking circles
here ard in the great commercial centers
of Minneapolis and st. Paul; prior to en-
gagi11g in business with Mr.. P~endergast
he WAS doing a small but safe, and
profitable banking business in the build
ing long since demolished, just north of
the present bank.
1t was about this nucleus of business
that the Bank of Sank Centre was built
up to into d great and influential finan-
cial concern. Mr.. Kells enjoys a jcniablc
reputation among business men. He is
not only a first class business man, but
while safely conservative he is accom-
modating and aflable. BY his ability
and enterprise he has entrenched himself
in public confidence and esteem. Under
his management, the Bank of Sauk Cen
tire, with abundant capital and q bust
ness ~th"uglly established, will increase
in influence and prosperity. Long may
Ec be spared to administer its affairs.
