FIRST NATIONAL BANK

Pres. George L. Robinson; Vice Pres.
Theo. j. Haugeberg,; Cashier, F.
E. Funk, Capital $4,000, and sur
plus $4,000.
This institution is so thoroughly
identified with our city and county
that we take pleasure in giving it the
place of honor as we dwell on the re-
sources and advantages of this sec
tion. From the day it first opened
it's doors in 1902 it has met with fav-
orable and increasing success and a
bank of this kind reflects credit upon
us. A strong, progressive concern its
standing is gilt-edged in every re-
spect and it's business grows rapidly.
AS rule, the important part played
by banks in the development of a
country is not appreciated by all peo-
ple.. Many persons regard them
simply as place of safe keeping for
money and have no adequate concep-
tion of the part they play in the sue
cess of many legitimate enterprises.
The management of this bank could
hardly be improved on and it is al
ways ready to do what it properly
can to advance the best interests of
its customers. 1t is conservative bu
all undertakings that safe, honor
of due consideration from this insti-

THE0. ]. HAUGEBERG
General Merchandise.

Iii emphasizing the desirability of
building up our own town and county
instead of Chicago and other places
we desire also to point out the lead
ing merchants of this section and Mr..
Haugeberg is a gentleman who has
been thoroughly identified with the
community from the beginning.
His successful and honorable car
eer here has been due to unwavering
uprightness, progressive methods and
he has always met the severest COM
petition.
He carries line of general mer-
chandise which suits our people ex-
actly, no one was ever overcharged
here, and The Golden Rule always
prevails. ...
Mr.. Haugenberg never handles
shoddy or unreliable goods of any
kind and we believe a child could
trade here as safely as a grown per-
son could. Clerk service is also up
to the mark, and store of this kind
would be a credit to any town. His
establishment measures almost 5000
feet and his business is run on an
excellent system.
The pressed brick building he has
erected on our principal corner is
an ornament to the city and Mr..
Haugeberg deserves great credit for
his enterprise in putting it up. This
gentleman is also the vice president
of the bank and the lumber company
with our growth and prosperity than
he is.
:. Mr. Haugeberg is very attentive
to business and though always busy
is never too busy to be courteous and
obliging to all with whom he comes
in contact, whether friend or strang-

surrounding country and this insti-
tuition does it's full share in that way.
All accounts whether large or small
are received with due appreciation
and there is nothing lacking that a
successful, well directed, up-to-date
bank should have. Messrs. Schie
rer and Mann are gentlemen of finan
cial responsibility, high personal
character and sound business judg-
ment who are entitled to take pride
in the excellent standing of the bank.
Mr.. Landman, the cashier, is COM
petent and affable gentleman who un-
derstands the banking business thor
oughly and Mr.. Seer, the assistant
cashier, performs his duties very sat
isfactorily. We note with pleasure
the banks success.

its stockholders are all local people,
who have been instrumental in the
upbuilding of Washbufn. Scarcely a
farmer in the county but who has had
very satisfactory dealings with this
company and enjoyed the benefits of
long time credit this lumber company
grants to its customers. They sell
goods on time and carry the largest
stock of building material in any one
yard in the county.
Mr.. R. NJ. Brown, the manager, is
lumberman of ten years experience
in the trade and the business has
grown rapidly under his management
and he is also Alderman of the First
ward and owns one of the best homes
in the village
This Home Yard sells only the
best building material on time and
at close prices.

PLEASURE the growing trade Of this

In every town and county there are
enterprises who are leaders in their
line and who command the complete
confidence of their patrons by reason
of their honorable dealings, expert
service, and reasonable prices and in
the Mclean County Abstract Com
pany we have an institution which
we do not think can be excelled in the

It's busines is increasing constant
~ and since the day it started there
has never been complaint OF any

which it can be proud and we are
fortunate indeed in having concern
of this kind located here. 1t is the
only company making an exclusive
business of furnishing abstracts and

eution. In fact it is matter for con
graduation that our county possesses
such strong, financial concern. A
general banking business is done,
the accounts of banks, merchants,
farmers, corporations, and individ-
uals are solicited, foreign exchange
is sold, letters of credit issued and
their funds are protected by ade-
quate insurance against fire, burg
larry, defalcation or other contigen-
cies. The officers and employees all
furnish surety bonds and burglar in
surance is carried to cover all pos
sible losses.
Their resources amount to the very
large sum of over three hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is not necessary
for us to point out the many advan-
tages National Bank has in point
of safety and other respects over
state or private institutions. This
bank, which is second to none in the
state in sound financial progress. is
evidently thoroughly appreciated by
our people. Mr.. Robinson, the presi-
dent, is the we'll known merchant of
Cold Harbor and man of excellent
reputation and large means. having
been in the mercantile business in
this county over 30 years and Mr..
Haugeberg, the vice president, is one
of the solid business men Of our
county. Mr.. Frank 3. Funk. the

there in abstract work was invaluable

with in making the abstracts.
