After ions and honrablc business career extending through the greater part of Nome's existence as n civic center the Alaska Banking and Safe Deposit Company. the oldest banking institution and one of the earliest es- tablishetl business concerns of the camp. announced today its retirement on July 1. The depositor's accounts of the institution will be transferred to the Miners and Merchants Bank, which will act as the liquidating agent of the retiring bank. The retirement removes another old landmark that has been most important factor in the business and industrial life of the community and its absence in the fut- ure will be a matter of sincere regret to all whose interests are identified with this section. Mir. J. V. Sheldon, president and manager of the institu- ton states that the retirement is at tributable principally to the narrow ing down of the business life of the camp during the past few years and that the, bank is closing it's accounts after a profitable and satisfactory career.
 The Alaska Banking and Safe De- posit Company was established hy the late br. Cabell Whitehead, with d group of Washington capitalists as it's financial packers. in 1900 during the early days of the great gold rush which made Nome famous the world over. The business prospered and the institution soon developed into one of the leading enterprises in Alaska. Following pr. Whitehead's unfortun- ate death by accident, the management was continued by Mir. Frank IF. Thatc- her, I.atersthe management was talk en over by the present incumbent J. Y. sheldon. Throughout it's long car ger the bank maintained the highest esteem of the community and leaves behind it an enviable record for busi-
 ness integrity and fair dealing.
