felt inclined TO think it was a
case OF snakes in the boots, but he lnitd-

. An Opening.
J Among tile different business openings
! i'm Rapid City, nothing offers greater in
sducements than that OF banking. Nor
scan any business be named that would
sprove a greater benefit to the entire
community than the establishment OF a
Legitimate banking house. While in the
spast Rapid City has been fairly we'll
lsupplied in this line, a study OF the pres
GENT situation will convince one that the
business OF the city and surrounding
scountry has out grown the banks. Ii

ato invest their money as they sec fit,
aalthough one must naturally question
dthcir judgement when they withdrawn
sthelr money from a business that is a
ding eighteen per cent to investlnbusiness
enterprises. There is no question but
sthat the %stringency OF the money mar
aket here is largely attributable to these
aside issues OF our banks and that a

banking business, would find a ready de-
