THE MOBILES co. BANK,
Peter Thompson, proprietor, was
established in 1880, and may Justly
be regarded as one of the pioneer
banking houses of Southwestern
Minnesota. This is what is known
as a private bank, but the facilities
for the transaction of business per-
tanning to the banking system are
not one whit inferior to the best
and largest incorporated concerns
of this section of country. Mr.. T.
is possessed of ample capital, is
we'll and widely known, as man
of the strictest integrity, careful
and conservative in business mat
ters, and while he transacts gen.
eral banking business the same as
an incorporated institution, deal
ing in foreign and domestic ex-
change, receiving deposits and
making collections, the banking
business is in reality but minor
part of the transactions of the in
stitution. The negotiating of real
estate or mortgage loans, is a very
important feature of the business
of this concern, and is in fact a
specially. The facilities in this
line are equal to any house in
Southern Minnesota, and terms as
favorable. The real estate bust
ness is also another important fea-
ture, and is continually increasing
in magnitude. While MI. 7. does
general agency business, buying
and selling for other parties, he
also buys and sells largely on his
own account. He is the owner of
considerable valuable real estate in
this county and elsewhere, that is
offered on favorable terms to home
seekers or other investors. He is
the owner of the only complete set
of abstract books in the county,
comprising a business of import
ance in itself. He is also the rep
resentative of numerous reliable
insurance companies, sells steam
ship tickets via numerous lines, to
and from Europe. Among other
property interests he is also the
owner Of the Worthington Globe,
one of the leading country weeklies
of Southern Minnesota. Mr.. T.
has been a resident of Minnesota
since 1858, and during his resi-
dence in Worthington has always
manifested lively interest in the
welfare of the town and develop
ment of the surrounding country,
and the ADVANCE is pleased to al
Jude to him as the representative
of financial and other interests
among the most important in
Southwestern Minnesota.
