WISCONSIN STATE BANK
61O1 Tower Ave.
Station B. Suneri0r. Wis.


A state bank can render to the pub
lie some services which a national
bank cannot because of the somewhat
restricted powers granted to the lat
ter by the federal government. So it
was that the people of Superior well
coined the establishment of the Wis
consin State bank, which has done its
full share in the development Of this
part of the city and the surrounding
community
There's nothing of more Importance
to the growth and prosperity Of any
city than its banks. This is a fact
that cannot be denied or disputed, as
upon the banks we depend not only
to keep our money and valuable pa
pers in safety, but also frequently for
the necessary money to tide over a
period of depression or financial
stringency.
This bank is located on the corner
of Tower Avenue and Sixty-hrst street,
where they are splendidly equipped
for the transaction of a, general bank
ing business and insurance.
There is one feature Of this bank
to which we wish to direct special
attention and that is the savings de-
partment. More and more are the
people beginning to realize the import:
ance Of regular savings. When sick
ness comes, or loss Of employment,
or other troubles to which all are
|, liable, then we can appreciate a nice
savings account laid by for such oc-
caisions. And even if We escape
these troubles, it Is really surprising
how fast a savings account, drawing
interest, will accumulate, providing
against the time when advancing years
makes further labor impossible.
We are glad to include the Wis
consin State bank In the list Of Sl-
perior's progressive business institu-
tions who have contributed largely ia
the growth and prosperity of the city
It is the purpose of this review to
make our readers acquainted with
| those business houses that have
shown the proper interest in the vel
fare Of our working people and whe
are entitled to our full patronage and
cooperation, we know OF none de-
serving of more prominent mention
in this review than the Wisconsin

There is no one thing of greater i'm
portance in the promotion Of the COM
mercial' and industrial welfare OF any
city than the possession of first class
banking facilities. SUPERIOR is partic-
ularly blessed in this respect, 40 its
financial institions are the staunchest
and are differed by men whose in
tegrity and ability are beyond ques-
ton. We point with pride to the many
advantages that a sound bank Offers
its patrons.
The nature of banks varies, some
being national institutions, organized
under the laws Of our nation. others
under the specific laws of the state,
but the safety of the depositor de-
pends upon the responsibility of its
stockholders. The United States
National bank is one of those insti-
tutions~ which can be safely COM
mended to the interests of the wage
Garner, having behind it a personnel,
SO far as its officers are concerned,
which is beyond reproach. Those in
charge Of this bank are all public
spirited citizens and the institution
carries the accounts of scores Of peo-
wage-earners of Superior.
The officers of, the U. S.. National
bank are: Martin Pattison, president;
A. J. wentzel, vice-president; Joel s.
Gates cashier; e. e. Harrison, as
sistant cashier.
A banker who gets the confidence
OF the toiler and gets them to open
bank accounts Is doing g. double good
in life; he Is starting the toiler right
and is also: accommodating funds with
which to build the town. Remember
Mr., age-Earner, every time you pui
., dollar in the bank it 1s doing double
work and will in time tighten your
own burden. Ten years of saving will
give you forty years Of ease. Open an
account at once. ..
Since the beginning of the U. 8.
National bank, no financial institu-
ton of Superior has made a better
showing for good management, or has
been more prosperous than the above
named bank. - -.
:: The United States National bank
was the first bank in Superior to keep
open Saturday evenings for the, ac-
comodation Of laboripg mon and their
bank has been open every Saturday
evening for the past four years to
give laboring men the convenience Of
transacting their banking business and
getting checks cashed after regular
banking hours. (.
The officers and directors stand for
business integrity. and are at all times
liberal, enterprising and public spirit
ed, and are ever guided by prudence
which comes from long experience IN
financial affairs. x - =.
