vigorous defense. and there will be

Though the deplorable condition of
Grace Marshall Jeanne to light six

4plebdd records, both OF successful
s1iid business men, and men of sterling
integrit, and Influential citizenship.
The marked success attained by this
back vas not brought about by acci-
dent, environment or "luck" so called.
Veryffew OF the great achievements, be
they financial social or political, can be
attributed to any OF these causes. Sue
cess follows the strict and close atten-
tion TO details. Application, conserva-
ism, positiveness sIloyed with courtesy,
all are necessary attributes. But over
all and above all honesty is che one
sterling necessity to the achievement of
success.
1t is only simple justice here to add
that John w. Free, active head OF the
back since its organization, possesses
all of these attributes. For 30 years he
has given the business bis undivided
personal attention, mas for many years
been its president, and to him more
than all else is due the enviable standing
the bank 90 Ell joys. Every day Mr..
Free may be found at his desk, waiting
on customers and directing the banks
affairs with his old time courtesy.

Wednesday, May 10, 1916, was the
Both anniversary of the birth of the
Paw Paw Savings bank.
On May l6, 1886, the Paw Paw Saw
ings bank opened it's doors for business
with the following directors: Jonathan
j. Woodman, Frank w. Seilick, John
w. Free, William j. Sellick, Johu Lyle,
William Lyle, Daniel Lyle and Edgar A.
Crane.
The first officers of the bank were
Frank w. Sellick, president; Edgar A..
Crane, vice president; John w. Free,
cashier.
Our esteemed and venerable fellow
citizen Oran w. Ro Wand, was the first
depositor, aud it might be interesting to
add that he has been continuous pat
ron during the intervening years.
While the experiences of this banking
house have not varied materially from
many another similar enterprise, still 1t
is interesting to know that from it's very
inception it has enjoyed large business
and each succeeding year has shown a
marked increase, until today the Paw
Paw Savings bank is known as one OF
the solid substantial and progressive
banking institutions of southwestern
Michigan.
There is also pathetic side to this
little story of the banks history, found
in the fact that out of the original direc
tors all have passed to their reward but
