Thirty years ago. Nov. l. j. 2. Har-
ris became cashier OF Messalonskee
National Bank, a position which he
has held with credit ever since. He
had been clerk under Geo. H. Bryant,
who was cashier Of the bank from the
time it was organized in March. 1875.
When Mr.. Bryant resigned, Mr.. Harris
was promoted to cashier. At that time
he was probably the youngest cashier
of any bank in Maine, being only %
years of age. He later held, in addi-
ton to this position, the position or
treasurer of the Cascade Savings Bank
until a few years ago, when he was
made assistant treasurer which is his
title at present. Both institutions have
grown remarkably under his direction.
