honors thrust upon him, having served
as sheriff of the county, and he is now

cial healthfulness of the county is no
less than paternal, and the rectude of

The vice president, a citizen of
Caldwell, Idaho, although young man
Is foremost among the splendidly sue
cessful business builders in south
western Idaho and eastern Oregon,

clean without as within. BY birth
Mr.. Wilkerson is a Texan, by choice
of business opportunities he is an
Idahoan and an Oregonian, and he is
clean cut, level-eyed, natural born
business man who can be counted upon
to jealousy safeguard his own inter

entrusted to him, hence as a bank
, vice president he is a financial safety
valve.
