Romance of the Sweet Pea

in the year 1860 there appeared the first bloom
so popular today. The latter raised by Major
Trevor Clarke. 1t was fine white flower with
an edging of blue and Major Clarke scored a
double triumph for his new flower also the
first sweet pea with blue coloring
The greatest revolution in the history of the
sweet pea, however was fnaugurated on July %,
1901, when, at the National Sweet Pea society's
first exhibition, held in the old Royal Aquarium,
London, Mr.. Silas Cole, Earl Spencer's gardener
at Althorp park, displayed the famous Countess
Spencer, beautiful pink variety with wavy
instead of the conventional smooth standard The
loneliness of the new form won the hearts Of all
growers at once and during the last ten years SO
great has been the increase Of wavy or friled va
rieties after the Spencer type that the latter
rules the sweet pea world.
Some hybridists engaged particularly al
present in adding to the list of marbed varieties.

was both botanist and horticulturist and he
grew the first sweet peas seen in England.
Cupani called the plant Lathyrus distoplaty-

VILLAGE Bank Is Social Center and
Banker Is Man of High Standing

owns and operates farm near by and
is thus in direct touch with the In
terests of his custmers. He is usually
well posted on business conditions, as
the Chicago papers and banking jour
nails came to his desk.
The village banker very often owns
his automobile and driving horses and
his life does not have that dull monot-
over" to the neighboring city for small
the small town. If an interurban
passes through his village he can run
over" to the neighboring city for a small
sum. The lodges the churches and the
local organizations afford him social
diversions. In fact his life is not
monotonous in the least if he is an
active fellow.
A writer in the Chicago Banker
few weeks ago opposed the published
theory that the banks are not in sym
pathy with the people. His defense of
the banker as very close to the people
was an able one, and the present writer
heartily agrees with him. Go to
country village of a few hundred people
in Illinois, get acquainted with the
local banking situation in that town,
and then see If there is any lack or
harmony between the banker and his
clients There is so much harmony in
deed that the village banker is often
the guiding star of the town, and like
the New England preacher of a few
generations ago he is the man whom
everybody likes to talk with" The
village banker Is not bothered with the
clerical gradations of the city clerk.
He is a business man and a banker,
and not a clerk. Deals, not promo
tions in rank and increases in clerical
pay, are the things which interest him.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-02

The village bank is always an IN
teresting place to visit. In village OF
a few hundred people the bank is the
social center around which the activ-
tiles of the community fluctuate. The
bank stands as rule on the most I'M
portant corner in the village, and dur
ing the banking hours the farmers and
toWnspeople are going in and out trans
acting their business and visiting.
The bank, it must be remembered by
city financiers, performs many of the
duties which in larger centers of popu-
lation are taken over by clubs ana
Elks lodges. Automobiles stand in
front and the stranger in town looking
for Farmer A or Farmer can get
information as to whether that indi-
Vidual has or has not been lin town
during the day Even the bank cor
ner' is a public gathering place. The
customer of the bank goes there to
write his letters and to use the tele-
phone. And there he finds other Gus
timers who are always ready and Will
ing to discuss national politics or town
ship road Improvement. No wonder
that the bank in village is an impor-
tant place.
The village banker is more important
than the bank. Interested in many of
the enterprises of the community he
often conducts another business ION the
outside" He may run" a grain eleva-
tor, the weekly newspaper, the lumber
yard, farm implement, buggy or auto
mobile business. His duties in the
bank are not so exactinS except that
he has considerable spare time, and
competent man or girl clerk is usually
obtainable. Perhaps the village banker

FIRST NATIONAL
BANK A LEADER
Established in the City of Los
Angeles Thirty Years
Ago
RESOURCES ARE S19,127,s72

The First National bank of Los An
geles was organized July 81, 1880, by
Hiram Mabury, Q. S. Witherby, j. 10.
Hollenbeck, e. f. Spence and j. f.
Crank, it being, as the name signifies,
the first bank of the city of Los An
geles to operate under a national char
ter 1t commenced active business in
October of the same year, that date
marking a new and important era in
the fiduciary history of the metropolis
of Southern California.
The First National succeeded the
Commercial State bank, which was or
ganized in 1875, and from its inception
it was representative of the important
place the city was to take in the de-
velopment of the great southwest,
while, its high character and stability
reflected the personal qualities of its
projectors. ]. E. Hollenbeck had the
honor of being the first president of the
First National and Edward e. Spence
of holding the second office. The capi
talization of the bank at the outset
was 100000, and it occupied quarters
on North Main street, opposite Temple
street, considered handsome quarters
at that time. Constantly keeping in
close touch with the growth and ex-
ploitatipn of Southern California in
means, method, loca ton and equip
ment, 1t removed in 1901 to larger and
more central quarters in the Wilcox
block, at the southeast corner of Spring
and Second streets, which has ever
since been typical of the bank, as it is
the very center of business and tinan-
cial activity of the city.
1t was at that time a fiourishing in
stitution, vigorous and alert, and has
been managed and maintained ever
since under the most satisfactory con-
ditions. In both its extenrior appoint
ments and the nature of its operations
it is characteristic of the highest stand
ards. The large increase of activities
in 1906 necessitated larger .accommoda-
tiofs, and these it provided for by TAX
ing in the corner room of the Wilcox
building, giving, with the quarters then
already in use, the entire corner of the
building, and providing for its patrons
one of the handsomest and most spa
cius banking rooms in California.
This enlargement of its quarters was
but an indication of the growth of its
business, which now reaches magnifi-
cent proportions AS an evidence of
this growth there is here given the con-
dition of the bank at its first report,
and also the condition at the last re-
port Of the First National bank of Los
Angeles at the close of business De-
ecmber 81, 1880:

tional bank of Los Angeles at the close
