$15O,OO0.
The First National bank of Santa Fe ls
the pioneer bank of New Mexico. 1t was
incorporated in 1870, with capital of
$l5O,OOO, and has, ever since it's organiza-
tion, been closely identified with the
prosperity of Santa Fe and of New Mex
leo. The bank is depository for funds
of the United States government, stands
deseryedly high in financial circles, and
CO nmands the entire confidence of the
people.
The bank occupies its own quarters in
fine modern bank building erected by
the management in 1882. The fittings
are heavy and rich, the Offices exception
ally we'll lighted, the vaults fire and burg
lar proof; and every convenience is pro-
vided for the dispatch of business and the
accommodation of patrons.
The business of the First National bank
is confined strictly to recognized legitl-
mate fields of banking. Advantageous
connections are maintained with the best
banks of all the states and the eastern
cities, which afford exceptional facilities
for transacting business with promptness
and thoroughness. Especially does this
apply to making collections and handling
commercial paper. Exchange is bought
and sold on the principal cities of Europe
and America. Money is transmitted BY
telegraph to any and every point of i'm.
portance in the United States and Mexico
and to all the principal cities of the com
mercial world. Acceptable commercial
paper is discounted, and loans made upon
reasonable terms.

DEALERS IN GROCERIES, FEED AND PRODUCE
| NO. BAKERY, FRISCO STREET.
1t may be doubted if any mercantile
firm of Santa Fe commands larger local
and general trade in their lines than II. B.
Cartwright & Bro. The firm is com posed
of H. B. and s. G. Cartwright, and the
name of the firm is guarantee of fair
and honorable dealing wherever known.
The business was founded in 1881 by
the elder brother, Mr.. H. B. Cartwright,
who conducted it with unvarying success
until 1898, when the present firm was
Besides its large city trade, which it re-
quires two wagons to accommodate, the
house has very extensive country trade
with ranchers living at distance from
Santa Fe. The store Is favorably located
to accommodate its country patrons, and
has for years been headquarters for
farmers and ranchers visiting the city.
The bakery is an important feature of
the business, but the grocery and provis-
ion department is of magnitude suftic-
lent to make business Of itself. The
feed ard produce features, taken together,
are quite as important as that of groceries
and provisions. The stock as whole
occupies eight rooms besides the bakery,
and taken altogether is one of the largest
stocks Of the kind in the west,
This is neither strictly retail house,
nor is it in many things wholesale
house. It has the features of both COM
bined in q manner best suited to the de-
mands of its patrons in town and coun-
try. In groceries the stock includes inn
ported fancy groceries as we'll as the main
staples, the best quality of preserved
canned, and dried California fruits, and
the choicest dairy products obtainable
The firm is large buyer of hay, grain
and country produce, and is enabled to
sell the same in carload lots or at re.
tail.
The Cartwright brothers came from
Mediopolis, Iowa, to New Mexico. H. B
Cartwright has, besides being promi
nent merchant, been for number Of
years closely identified With modern i'm.
provements of the city. He is pres
ident of the Santa Fe Telephone company
stockholder and director in the Electric
Light company, and has shown liberia
and commendable spirit in promoting
other enterprises for the good of the city
and territory. He is also serving nov
his second term as county treasurer.

has been less than four years in the ter
ritory, and, while not SO widely known a
the senior member of the firm, is not les'
highly esteemed.
