National Bank of Alderman, Miss,
and was before that connected with

Both the new officers are young

Perry as directors. Mr. Fl. S. Reed
will continue as president of the in

Mr.. Ingraham will remain in the
nj hnb lt Cf

in their duties.
Mr.. Knight Remains.
Mr. Percy F. knight who has been
the very valuable and efficient assist
ant cashier of the banking corporation
for two years and has proven himself
the right man in the right place, will
remain in the position which he has
SO acceptably and satisfactorily filled
for the profit and benefit OF the bank
and for the good of the commercial
men of Santa Fe and Central New
Mexico and for public prosperity. He
is well and favorably known to the
people of this city and through Cen
tral New Mexico and especially to
the business men and the livestock
growers, of which classes many have
done business with the bank and many
more will be added and the business
of the bank will constantly increase
as soon as it becomes known that
competent and honorable banking men
with increased capital and with pro-
gressive and modern financial ideas
will be at the head of the institution.
The New Mexican feels certain that
the change will rebound to the growing
commercial and banking interests of
this city and of Central New Mexico
in which the particular field of this
bank is situated.
The retiring officer carries with him
the respect and good will of many who
have had business with the bank since
its formation, and the new officers will
be received with the courtesy and good
will of the commercial community
and bank depositors and investors gen
orally.
