The Sioux Falls Daily Argus-Leader
of last Thursday published a list of
the large banks of the state among
which the Bank of Brookings stands
seventh in the state. Four banks at
Sioux Falls stand ahead of the local
bank and one at Mitchell and one at
Aberdeen are the other two. The First
National Bank of Brookings stands
ninth in the state. Both local banks

is smaller than many of the cities
whose banks do not compare with
ours.
