OUR FINANCIAL GROWTH

NOR many years the eyes of the
H financial world have been looking
- more and more toward Los An
geles as the coming money center OF
the southwest, and the rapid growth of
our banks is vindicating this expecta-
ton. The immense volume of business
passing through our clearing house
annually has made it necessary to pro-
vide greater facilities for the accom-
mediation of many of our monetary
interests.
The most recent example of this is
the proposed consolidation of the Amer
lean and Citizens National banks.
The consolidation of two large bank
ing institutions is by no means an easy
task, but it is learned that both banks
are arranging details, so far as possible,
looking toward the union with consid-
cradle rapdity. There are many tech
nicalties in the federal law which must
be complied with, and which retard
the immediate joining of two national
banks.
When the business of the American
National is carried into the handsome
quarters of the Citizens National at
Third and Main, the operation of the
banks will be intensified through the
added resources and Capitalization of
credits.
In their already commodious banking
room arrangements are being made to
acquire additional space, where every
facility of modern banking will be made
use of, in order to conveniently care for
the wants of their clients easily and
safely.
The board of directors of the CONSOLE
dated institution will represent some of
our heaviest financial interests, and the
bank will be ably differed by men who
have had long experience in CONNER
cial banking, with the different depart
ments in charge of thoroughly compe-
tent officers and employees from both
banks. The consolidation will carry
with it the majority of officials and
employees of both institutions in their
respective capacities, so far as possible.

The State Press
Printing Philosophy

The printing press has made ipresi-
dents, killed poets, furnished bustles
for the beauties. punished genius with
critics; it has curtailed the power of
kings and graced the pantry shelves;
it has converted paupers into bankers,
and made lawyers out of college presi-
dents; it has educated the homeless and
robbed the philosopher of his reason;
it smiles, and cries. and dies; but it
canot be run to suit everybody, and
a man is a fool who tries it.--Modesto

Far and Wide
Education

For, when all is said and done, the
value of formal education is not in the
facts acquired nor in the arts or
sciences of which some idea may be
obtained. 1t is in the training and ex-
ercising of the mind to work-to know
how to go about the task that may
present itself-to understand that be-
cause the task is strange it is not
therefore impossible. 1t is in the equip
ment of the mind with a fulcrum on
which to rest levers and move the
world-Chicago Inter Ocean.
