GREGORY NATIONAL AND
M CORN BELT BANKS MERGE

Gregory, s. d., Jan. 24.-The most
important financial transactions for the
Rosebud country that has taken place
here for some years was completed to-
day, when the Gregory National bank
and the Corn Belt Bank and Trust
company consolidated under the name
OF the Gregory National bank.
The Gregory National had a capital
Of $4,000 and a United States bond
holding of $4,000 to secure United
States deposits. This will be the capt.
tai and holdings of the new bank. The
Corn Belt bank had a capitalization Of
$780, 600, and was one of the strongest
state banks of this section. These banks
have been under the personal manage
Iment of JOY M. Hacker and John P.
IBiehn most Of the time since they. were
organized, and have been among the
most prosperous banks Of the Rosebud
country.
HI. Millay, president of the Nation
al, will be president of the new bank;
John p. Biehn, vice president OF the
Corn Belt and president of the Bank
of Carlock, will be the vice president,
with Joy M. Hacker, perhaps the old
est bank official in point of service, as
| cashier. wa. p. Zutz will be assist
ant cashier, and Martin Eichman book
Ikeeper. All these men are well known
IN ~f,nanclal circles. The principal mo-
Iiye in merging appears to have been to
ant down expenses, as a saving OF
about $4,000 annually with a raise in
salary for some Of the minor officers
M the result. The combined deposits
reach over $3.50, 600.
The business will be conducted In the
