it's bonds and operated by men Sc
lected by reason of their fitness and
knowledge of the question, which still
continues. The Standrod bank mere
ly carried out the conditions of the
loans it had made with the corpora
ton, and every citizen Eliminates his
! dwelling with whatever he chooses
and If he chooses electricity he gov
erns the brilliancy of his lights by
the size and style of his lamps and

We might go on and enumerate
other lines of service without number,
which this banking institution has
rendered on simple business lines but
always in commendable things such
as cashing county and city and public
school warrants at par through per-
iods that presented strong tendency
to let the. public credit sink, when
the strength Of their finances and
their faith in the public resources
prompted them to meet all demands
with the coin of the realm and at
par. A large number of school dis
tricts in the county have been
financed by this bank when they
found it necessary to bond and build
in order to properly house and teach
it's children, The management of
the Standrodi bank take the view that
the greatest move which the people of
this county can make; the best invest
ment they can make, will be the unit
ed study and practice of the very
best methods in farming and stock
raising. Operating on those plans
which will make of the county a great
well-kept park, the home of industry
and thrift. InGa"ting upon the hope
that such conditions may come, they
have taken. many opportunities to
send literature to their depositors
showing how to bring about the
changes for better things, and it is
through their care and attention to
this idea that each of their depositors
not on the subscription list of The
Idaho Republican receives a copy of
this edition of the paper.
When the Standrod bank was start
ed, 1t occupied quarters on Main
street and when it outgrew its house
they purchased site on the corner
of Main and Bridge where they erect
ed large building of two stories and
basement, and fitted the ground floor
and basement with everything that is
modern in banking. Fireproof, con-
venient and sanitary, we'll lighted by
dav and by night, it is a source of
pride to the community as we'll as to
the owners. The great vault built
not only for the safe keeping of
treasure but of the books and papers
use at the various desks, has for it's |
outer door work of mechanism and
art weighing several tons, yet hung |
so perfectly on its ball bearing hinges
that man swings it with the |
strength of one finger. Steel, glass,
marble, terra Gotta and pressed brick
are the materials used in its construc-
tion, and bronze, brass, steel, glass,
aluminium and mahogany in the fur
niture and fixtures. In the basement
are the safety deposit vaults for both
the bank and its customers. with
a large writing room, rest room and
toilet On this floor also are a num-
Der of the best office rooms in town.
arranged in suites of such size, con-
venien"e and elegance as are found
nowhere else in the, city. ..
The reputation of this bank travels
steadily to the effect that depositors
living at greater distances accept it's
service. Especially is this true of
and stockmen operating in
distant valleys both east and west of
Blackfoot and far to the northward.
1t Is significant that it has recently
passed the million mark in it's
growth. Their statement of the tenth
Of November, 1915, showed deposits
amounting. to $84S,64944, and the
seventeenth of the same month the
deposits had risen to $9s4,153,11.
