The twenty-seventh anniversary Of
the First National Bank Of Custer City,
occurs today-the 2lst day Of Novem-
Der, 1908. The bank was originally
started ss the Bank Of Custer. by ID.
Carrigan as president and owner, and
for nine years was known as such. In
1890 Mr.. Carrigan associated with him
self w. +. Hanley, James HALEY, F. A.
Towner and others, and purchased the
Bank of Custer. Then they organized
the First National Bank, since which
time it has been known as the First Ma
tional Bank Of Custer City-successor to
the Bank of Custer.
The changes which have taken place
in Custer County since the organization
of the bank would make history for a
large volume. Custer county at that
time composed all Of the southwestern
portion Of what was then known as Da-
kota Territory, including what is now
Fall River county. Then settlements
were few and far between, with only O
few cattle ranches. The cowboy was
then in the height of his glory. At that
time buffalo, elk, deer and antelope,
were very numerous and the ranchman
had to employ riders to drive OF the
buffalo from the wire fences which they
erected to protect thsir hay lands, a,
the buffalo would destroy a wire fence
almost as fast as it was put up, by
scratching themselves on the barbed
wire.
It is q source of qualification to its Off
cials that the bank has safely buffetet
the waves of adversity and prospered II
the years of plenty, and under all con
ditions benefactor to the public. Or
its 9th anniversary the First Natioua
Bank of Custer City is In fourishini
condition and still doing business at th'
old stand. Now, as when FIRST started
this bank has the confidence OF its de
positors and patrons. Their business i
daily increasing under the able manage
msnt Of its officers, and the CHRoscL
hopes Il may continue to do 80 for man
issars to come.

That the uproar and financial string
sncy in the East has not effected our
people in this portion of the Black Hills
to any extent, is shown in recent
statement Of the financial condition of
the Hill City Bank. The figures there
given are almost precisely the same as
those given just before the crisis in
October year ago, except an excess of
over $1,000 in surplus and profits. The
bank has not only "held its own" in
volume OF business, but forged ahead
perceptibly. A mighty good showing

fidence in the ability and integrity Of

trees and with garden leading down to

The most striking sight Of the island is
perhaps the citadel, which, perched on a
