that we present in to-day's issue Of The
DAILY LEADER statement showing the
condition Of the Banking House Of DAILY
& Mackay, at the close Of business Nov
ember 7, 1895. Our qualification comes
from the excellent business showing of
the bank, it's growth being almost phe-
nomenal when it is taken into account
that the bank has been in business here
only about fifteen months. But this
does not signify that the proprietors of
the bank are new men in the banking
business. On the contrary, Messrs.
DAILY & Mackay are experienced bank
ers, and their acquaintance and business
records in the money centers of the east
and west are of many years standing.
Both are well posted and experienced in
national banking, having been connect
ed with national banksin official capaci-
ties previous to forming the present
partnership that is proving SO success
full. Reference to their statement in
this issue will give the reader the best
insight into the successful business they
are conducting. They are conveniently
located in a solid stone building with
excellent furnishings and facilities for
transacting their business, and that
they are as solid financially as the stone
building they occupy. everybody in this
community at all acquainted with their
affairs will vouchsafe.
In this connection we are constrained
, to refer to the Madison State bank, Of
which Chas. B. Kennedy, our WELL
known pioneer citizen, is president and
, manager. While the Madison State
| bank ranks among the old established
business institutions of the city, it has
. OF late been enjoying renewed prosperi-
ty, as shown by its official statement
recently published. Mr.. Kennedy has
I for many years been an extensive oper-
: ator in South Dakota real estate, both
v on his own account and as agent for
eastern land operators, and there is
probably not a better posted real estate
man in the state than Mr.. Kennedy
q one who can 30 readily estimate values
and general adaptation for farming and
stock raising purposes. For nearly a
year Mr.. Kennedy has given his almost
exclusive attention to the Madison
State bank, and his wonderful energy
e and business sagacity is becoming every
day apparent.
