UNION STOCK YARDS BANK,
DENVER, COLORADO.
Adds to Working Force Gordon Jones and
Colin s. Campbell, Formerly Of the St.
Joseph Stock Yards Bank, Elected
President and Assistant CASH
fer Rexnrcfivefv

1t was wise move on the part of the
directors OF the Union Stock Yards Bank
OF Denver to elect men of SO wide ac-
quaintance and large experience in the
live stock interests to such important
positions.
Mr.. Gordon Jones organized the st.
Joseph Stock Yards Bank, and was its
most active officer and manager until he
left that bank, two years ago, to locate
in Colorado. He was reelected presi-
dent of that bank, however, and contin-
ued in the capacity until his resignation
several months ago, at which time he
concluded to remain permanently in the
West. Under his efficient management
the st. Joseph Stock Yards Bank accu-
mulated a very large and successful
business. His methods of loaning on
cattle have been copied by various pack
ing centers, and he is looked upon as au-
thority in the handling of that class OF
banking. Mr.. Jones was engaged in the
country banking business, near Kansas
City, in the eighties and was the first
appointed State bank examiner in Mis-
souri,. He resigned during his second
term to accept the presidency OF the st.
Joseph Bank, as above stated. He has
been banking and loaning on live stock
in Colorado for several years, and at
present is president of the First National
Bank OF Fountain, Colo, and the Elbert
County Bank at Elbert, Colo, two small
banks in Denver's territory. He re-
moves to Denver at once, and, with Mr..
Campbell, will take part in the active
management of the Union Stock Yards
Bank.
Mr.. Campbell was cashier and had
charge of the banking department OF the
South st. Joseph packing plant Of Swift
d Company for some time, which posi-
ton he resigned to accept position with
Mr.. Jones in the st. Joseph Stock Yards
Bank. While thus connected, for several
years, he was credit clerk and teller; this
gave him close insight into the stock
yards business, and the needs OF stock
men. He resigned this position to accept
the cashiership OF Mr.. Jones Fountain
bank. His five or six years experience
in handling this class of securities has
indeed made him a valuable man for the
position to which he has Just been elected.
We understand great secret of the
success of the st. Joseph Stock Yards
Bank was themethods employed by these
gentlemen in taking care OF returns for
the "home" bank, and looking personally
after their interests, when their custom
ers sent stock to the open market. This
proved an innovation, and was so greatly
appreciated by the stockmen and coun-
try bankers that they transacted consid-
cradle business through that institution.
Knowing these gentlemen SO well, and
appreciating their ability and energy, we
predict substantial growth in the bust
ness Of the Union Stock Yards Bank
We wish to assure their patrons that
no banker stands higher in the estima-
ton of the fraternity, anywhere, than
NJ
ommend them to the citizens Of Denver
and the State of Colorado.
Mr.. ID. H. Moffat resigns as president,
but remains on the board Of directors.
Mr.. s. G. Gill will continue as a director
and vice-president, and Mr.. W. J. Fine
as cashier. These gentlemen are all well
known to the patrons OF that bank and
need no introduction. The Southwest
ern Banker.
