standing of its banks and measured by
this STANDARD Sank Centre ranks among
the very first cities of IT'S size in the
northwest. The bank of Sank Centre is
thoroughly identified with the business
of the city and vicinity, and has been an
important factor in advancing such in
terests. 1t was organized in 1880 with
S. Pendergast as president and Lucas
Kells cashier, and under their active and
judicious management it rapidly rose to
commanding position in commercial
circles both at home and abroad. Its
business was conducted in a manner to
win not only the confidence, but the
good- will and esteem of the public. Its
methods were liberal and rare spirit
of accommodation has always char
acterized its dealings with its patrons.
1t has always had abundant capital
at command. and has used it judiciously
and proftably. The active management
of the bank fell largely upen Cashier
Kells, supplemented by the assistant
cashier, E. P. Barnum, an expert &C.
countant and man of wide business ex-
perience, and L. NJ. Kells, thorough
and competent book-keeper, and the
working force OF the institution have
just reason to be proud Of the results &C.

Owing to failing health, in June last

his interest to the bank to his former
partner, Lucas Kells, who is now the
sole proprietor, and continues the bust
ness along the same lines upon which
such brilliant success was achieved.
The bank was never morn prosperous
than it is to-day, and its volume OF bust
ness Is steadily expanding. The Bank of
Sank Centre is an institution Of which
the city is proud, and it has reason to
be equally proud of the high estimation
in which it is held.
