banking institutions but an through
these financial disturbances the banks
or Wheeling have stood unharmed
-Four score and fifteen years have
passed since tho first bank was start
Ell In Wheeling and only one institu-
tioe during This time was compelled
To 10 into foundation on account OF
failure. This slight break in the re
markable record came when tho
Wheeling Savings institution was
t9ken over by receiver because OF
the dishonesty OF one OF its officials
In the financial world. Wheeling has
record OF which she may Justly feel
proud. for in no city OF the entire
globe are there more stronger banks
than right In the states metropolis
This unblemished record has been d
rectly responsible for the high posi-
ton which WheelinG's banks occupy
In the financial world both in tho
United States and abroad. Wheeling's
banks are backed up by the richest
men in this section OF the country
and they are men IN whom all can
place the greatest confidence Wild
specializing among Wheeling bankers
Is unheard OF and this IL one reason
why the outside world has so much
faith IN the solvency Of the local
banks
Every city IL judged by its financial
standing and such can be attained
only by fair dealing and the use OF
business-like methods. The high stand
ing or the local institutions not only
reflects upon the character Of the
bankers but 10 is indicative OF com
munity's progress. The prosperity OF
the banks depends directly on the
thr1ftiness OF the citizens and the lat
ter can not be thrifty unless Indus
trial and commercial conditions make
II possible. Thus the standing OF the
local banks was made possible py
work afforded the citizens by tho To-
cal manufacturing concerns which
paid sufficient wages 10 enable the
employees 20 start savings accounts.
