dent failed to open it's doors today

"The retirement of the Kansas City
State Bank from active business is
voluntary. Our business has not been
growing for some time and we found
it hard to hold our own with the larg-
est institutions. In fact, it looks as if
the banking business, as we'll as all
other lines, is concentrating into large
ones. On retiring from the banking
business for the present l can not
help but feel extremely proud that no
depositor has ever failed to have his
checks honored and paid on presenta
ton at any bank with which I have
been connected"
