Estimates Of Guthrie

Revising Estimates Of Guthrie
Some OF the bankers from the big
financial canters here today never
saw Guthrie before They are revis-
ing their figures on Guthrie as de-
sirable field for Investment and
credit, and when they return they
viii report to their institutions that
here in the new state is rapidly
growing. but solid and conservative
city that is entitled to and deserves
the attention Of the financial inter-
ests. And furthermore, it is safe.
Every banker in the state, in attend
ance at this meeting is pretty certain
to get his eyes opened as to the pos
sibilities OF Guthrie as the future com
mercial and financial center OF Central
Oklahoma. The financiers in Guth-
rie today are seeing a town that will
stand the acid test Of the bankers
critical examination from every stand
point.
