say OF f. Il. Parker, formerly OF Ellis
worth, now cashier OF the bank: "Mr.
Parker became cashier in 1910, bringing
to tie office capacity for organization
and the efficient handling of business,
which, with the cooperation OF the
directors, has brought the bank to it's
present high plane OF strength and
usefulness. Whe \. he came to the bank
it had less than 1000 accounts and
surplus of $4,000 Now the number OF
accounts has risen to more than 5000 and
the surplus to over 100000. Then the
total deposits were $4,000; now they
