FIRST STATE BANK.

So much does individual enterprise
and commercial progress depend on
banking facilities in general that any
article giving a review of Ringing
would be far from complete did it
not contain reference commendatory
TO this sound financial Institution,
the First State Bank, which since it
opened its doors TO the public has
done its full part in making the live,
progressive new city the wonuer of
the state.
The First State Bank, which has
capital of $4,000, commenced to
grow rapidly from the day it opened
its doors and every day since has
made new customers and friends. Ii
has without doubt the handsomest
set of fixtures owred by any interior
bank in Oklahoma. They are made
of mahogany with handsome marble
tase and would be credit to a bank
in the larger cities. Cashier Ste ;
says that Ringing is going to be
big town and nothing would do for
the First State Bank but "big town"
equipment, and they certainly have
it. The writer is going to bet a do.
lar against the hole in a doughnut
that he is right.
