AS soon as the material can be
secured it is the intention to
erect a nice brick building on the
present site to be used as the fu-
ture home of the joint institution.
Messrs. Robertson and Matthie-
sen, of the Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, will be retained to
assist in conducting the affairs
of the institution, while Messrs.
Ehrhardt and McGinitie will
retire. The latter will return to
his old home in Nebraska but the
former will locate again at some
point in Washington or Idaho,
as he has unlimited faith in the
future prospects and possibilities
of the northwest.
Concerning the history of the
bank we can recall that the first
bank in Cottonwood was started

One of the most important
business changes that has been
made in Cottonwood for several
months occurred here yesterday
when J. A. Schultz, the Nezperce
banker, purchased the First
National Bank from e. M.
Ehrhardt and associates and then
consolidated with the Farmers
& Merchants State Bank of this
place. Mr.. Schultz has been
working toward this change for
some time but it was not until
yesterday that the two deals
were consummated.
Mr.. Schultz informs US that
just as soon as the details can be
arranged he will move here from
Nezperce and assume the
management of the bank and the
Farmers & Merchants Bank
will move into the First National
building, where the joint institu-
tion will bear the name of the

this name until October, 1905,
when it was converted into a
national bank and the capital
increased to sos, 900. About, this
time Mr.. McGinitie came out from
the east to assist Mr.. Ehrhardt
in conducting the institution.
The bank made an excellent
growth from the start up to date
and has been recognized as one
of the strongest and best institu-

Idaho.
The Farmers & Merchants
State Bank, which has been con-
solidated with the First National
Bank, was opened here on March
lst, 1906, by a number of. pros
