TION OF COUNTY TO BE GOOD
On another page of this issue of The
Tribune will be found the reports of
the three National banks of Caldwell.
Whenever the spirit moves the comp
teller of the currency he orders the ma
tional banks throughout the country to
make and publish their reports as their
books showed on a particular date. 1t
was in response to such a call that the
report is made which shows the condi-
ton of the banks at the close of bust
ness November 10th.
AS usual Caldwell maintains her rep
dtation as the strongest banking town
Of her size in the United States The
combined resources of the four banks
Of this city reach over two and quar-
Ter millions of dollars. AS Caldwell is
a town of about 5000 people the record
S remarkable. The resources of the
our Caldwell banks are then double
he combined resources of all the other
banks in Canyon county and there are
welve of them. The financial institut-
tons Of Caldwell are the banks
through which hundreds of people in
southern Idaho and eastern Oregon do
heir business. The influence of these
Ianks reachs at least $50 miles in every
direction from Caldwell The town is
Consequently of greater importance fl
lancially than it would otherwise be-
One reason Why Caldwell is of such i'm
pCrtance is because we have been re-
markably fortunate in the ability and
character of the men who have con
Quoted the banks of this city. We have
had as our bankers such men as the
Scbrees, r. A. Cowden, A. K and Frank
gutenberg, John G. Rice, E. A. Clark,
D. D. Campbell, L. S. Ollie, S. D. Simp-
son and ]. G. Nichols and many other
equally strong men are officers and di-
eCtOrs.
