a. C. MOORE RESIGNS
POSITION WITH BANK
Leaves Alma State Savings
Bank After Six Years of Ser
vice in Alma

The street was given a surprise
and something of shock early this
week when it became known that II.
c. Moore. for six years the genial
cashier of the Alma State Savings
bank, was to leave our city.
Mr.. Moore is to go to the Industrial
Savings bank Of Flint, an institution
that has had a phenomenal growth
and is backed by the motor interests
of that city. The bank, while young,
is the largest but one in Flint, having
capital and surplus of S400,00O.O0
and assets of nearly $4,000, 100000.
OF course the citizens of Alma are
sorry to lose so good man but glad
to have had him so long when one
considers Mr.. Moore's wide and fav-
orable acquaintance among bankers
and other influential men of the state
and his undoubted ability as banker
he wonders that he was not snapped
up by some big institution long shine.
Mr.. and NJ :. Moore will be greatly
missed in the church, the college and
the entire community. A common re-
mark among Presbyterians is MIR.
Moore is altogether the most useful
man in our church." Among the col
llege BOYS one hears, "He is a prince
OF good fellows" TO the street IN
general he is thorough banker, a
courteous genial and kindly gentle
man.
Mr.. Moore's resignation is said to
have been as much of a surprise and
more of a shock to his board of di-
rectors than to any others. They
knew him to be man not particular
ly attracted by money except for the
good it could do and the pleasure 1t
could give, one who thought much of
his home and friends and so they
came to regard him as fixture as
well as an asset to the community.
When the board Of directors accept
ed Mr.. Moore's resignation President
William a. Bahlke presented the fol
llcwing resolutions which were unan-
imousIy adopted, tMr. Moore not
being PRESENT.
Whereas Cashier Moore has accept
ed an enviable position with the In
dustrial Savings bank of Flint, at q

Therefore, be it resolved by thi:
