THOMAS KIRBY, BANKER,
Something About One of Kansas
Best Financial Institutions.


Kansas has often been assailed on
account Of her financial troubles, but
those who spoke against h,r were not
acquainted with her leading financial
institutions and their managers. Had
they known something Of the history Of
such men as Thomas Kirby, banker, OF
Abilene, they would have been slow to
criticise. Mr. Kirby has been one of
the pioneers Of Abilene and he has won
by uniform good management of his
affairs an enyiable reputation for the
institution of which he is the head and
the owner.
There are few banks in Kansas with
as solid backing as Klrby's bank. With
u capital stock Of $50, 900, surplus as.
sets Of over $50, coo mole and far more
than the required cash reserve, ii il no
wonder that its deposits have passed
long ago the 100000 mark and are
now nearly $4,000. During the lnan'
cial stringency of last summer the con
fdence In Kirby's bank WAS such that
1t showed no diminution in deposits
and the vaults Of the institution prob
ably held more gold than any bank in
the State doing anything like the SAINT
amount Of business,
During the sixteen years Kirby'i
bank has been one Of Abilene's leading
business concerns it has steadily grown
in volume of business and the conf
dence of the people Of Dickinson county
