Today the total deposits in the
Shawnee State bank reached an even
one million dollars. This sum marks
the high tide of the institutions
growth during the fifteen years of its
existence.
The Shawnee State bank, was form
ed by a group of men who bought
out the old American bank, in 1902
When purchased, the American bank
had but $4,000 on deposit. Since
then by careful and conservative
banking, the company has developed
into a sound and prosperous concern.
Thomas Page is president; f. T. Ell
more, cashier and A. V. Lindell as
sistant cashier.
Altogether there is sum of about
$500. 900 on deposit in North To-
peka banks. A great proportion is
from farmers in the Kaw Valley. This
sum is a witness to the growing pros
perity of Shawnee county farmers
Steadily from year to year their de-
posits have shown an increase, and
their prosperity has grown with the
deposits. The farmers in The bottom
land" the bankers say, have prohted
most in recent years. The deposits
show it. But all over Shawnee county
the farmers have comfortable sums
safely slowed in the banks, and are
looking forward to a possible rainy
day without uneasiness.
