OMAHA BANKS ARE SOLID
Move Ever Onward and Upward Year
by Year.
MANY SEEK LARGER QUARTERS
Yearly All the Banks OF Omaha Are
Forced to SECURE Larger Homes
to Accommodate Their
Growing Business.

On the first business day Of 1910 the bank
cieartngs Of the city Of Omaha passed the
MooOOOO mark On the last business day
Of July they exceeded the clearings Of the
aame day in 1909 by the amount Of 1887, 99491
For the whole month the clearings this year
amounted 10 $62 2S4 4O1 49. against $50. "a no Is
in July 1909.
Total clearings for the year 1909 of the
Omaha banks made total Of S7s5. 225, Sos 49,
This was a gain Of SS2, 500. 701.67 over the
1908 total
SO the story OF the growth OF the banks
Of Omaha in solidity and in influence can
be traced through all the years. There has
never been a backward step.
And while we are starting into these
banking figures II will be we'll to keep
in mind that when the state capital was
located at LAncoln-within the life time of
q middle-aged man--the total assessed
valuation of the whole wealth OF Nebraska
was approximately 1900, 900 Yet in 1909 the
bank olearlngs Of Omaha reached the figure
k297, 432,S $40. and ten years later, at the close
OF 1910, the total was double that, with
t14O,s60S20 left over, as set out In the second
paragraph of this article.
The working capital on which this enor-
NOUS business is done by the banks of Ne
braska's metropolis totaled on June 30 last
tA5l4,7sS.92. This represented the resources
set out In the bank statements, to which
might be added the $27ss, S5B.67 Of surplus
and undivided profits. OF tho resources
1926, SIS we're credited to Omaha and the
balance to South Omaha. while the Omaha
surplus and profits totaled 81, 100, $50. 40 and
the four South Omaha banks had the ball

Banks the Heart of Trade.
Cashier ]. w. Thomas Of the Corn Ex-
Ohange National bank. has thus put into
small compass the kernel OF banking sense:
Banking is the heart Of the body COM
meroiaL 1t receives, distributes and cir
culates the blood. 1t must be vigorous
steady, reliable-weIl protected within ana
without Money Is the blood that circu-
lates In. nourishes and perpetuntes this
body. 1t must DO pure. substantial and
responsive 20 demand or need under all
varying conditions"
This brief Characterization, conveying 50
Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-31

much meaning, can be applied to the banks
of Omaha with absolute truthfulness. They
have proved their claim to sound financial
health through a great many severe tests;
and their circulation has always been of the
best. Their business has been clean, their
assets substantial, and they have been re-
sponsive to every fair demand through
peace and through panic alike.
This reputation. founded through long
series Of good and bad years, Ia today the
one best asset and advertisement Of the
local banking institutions. 1t is practically
represented by deposits running close to
$50. 100000 at the present time.
There is probably not a town or city in
Nebraska that does not get some benefit,
more or less. from the strength and the
richness Of Onaha's banking Institutions.
The ramifications of modern credit, inter
woven as It is with modern business, are
such are were undreamt of in the earlier
days The small business concern at the
crossroads is connected with the big whole
sale house on a credit line, usually; and
the Wholesale house, In turn, is anchored

pacity and 10 ever ready 10 back its busi-
ness to the full limit of safety. The same
is true of crop and stock movements, as of
purely commercial business. When ready
money is required, at certain times of the
year. the banks in large centers like Omaha
have perfected arrangements to supply it.
Banks Help Business.
In this connection 1t can be set down
that no group OF financial institutions any
where In the country, even in much larger
cities is better prepared to hold up the
business Of the territory tributary to them
than the banks of Omaha. On June 80 last
there was in the vaults of these banks
cash to the amount Of 81, 600 That re-
serve Of coin of the realm would go a long
distance through arterines OF business II
the need arose. One bank here had about
a. 900, 900 on hand, another had over g. 900
and a third we'll onto $15OO,0OO. South
Omaha banks had S3,4lS,OOO OF the cash re-
