new BANK TO
Be ESTABLISHED
The Commercial Bank Of Denison
10 to Open for Business on
"Wednesday, January 18th
ORGANIZED BY J. w. MILLER, JR.
Capitalized at $4,000. 90 Peter Miller
President, John w. Miller, Vice
President-GeneraI Banking :.

Denison is to have another bank
which will be conducted under the
name Of the Commercial Bank of Den
|ison, and will open for business on
the 18th of this month.
This new institution has been or
ganized by J. w. Miller, Jr., who has
been engaged in business in this city
for number of years and is thor
oughly familiar with all Of the de.
partments in the banking business.
For several years he was employed in
a bank at Manning, later coming to
this city to enter the employ of the
Bank of Denison. He resigned his pc.
siti0n with the Bank of Denison a few
years ago to enter the real estate and
insurance business. Mr.. Miller has
built up a most lucrative business and
soon outgrew his offices on the second
floor OF the Miller building and has
now fitted up fine offices on the
ground floor of the same building. The
new bank will be located here.
The capital of the Commercial Bank
Of ,Denison is $50,000.00 and the Off.
GERS will be as follows; Peter Miller,
president; John w. Miller, vice presi-
dent, and ]. w. Miller, Jr., cashier.
Other competent help has been en-
gagged and the institution will be amp
" prepared to handle all business as
heretofore.
There is room in Denison for four
banks and the Review believes the
new bank will come in for its share of
business. The president. Peter Miller,
has lived In Denison for many years,
although conducting large financial
business in the west. He is known
as very substantial business man.
John w. Miller. vice president, is the
father of ]. w. Miller, Jr., and Is a
man of large means. For many years
he was one OF the leading financial
men of Manning and moved to Deni-
son because of greater opportunities
for financial investment.
\ The Review welcomes this new
financial institution to Denison and
predicts growing and prosperous
business.

Prices on material used for con
struction work in most all lines do not
decline as rapidly as expected by
many who thought when the war end
ed there would be great drop. The
cost of labor also keeps up, notwith.
standing thousands of the boys have
been discharged from the army. 1T
would seem no industry has been
harder hit by high prices than the
telephone business" said George
Traeger, manager of the Crawford
County Telephone company. Wire,
batteries, copper, poles and crossarms
are high in price, and for the most
part hard to get. Then the govern
ment controlling the lines has said
the workmen who do the manual labor
have not been getting sufficient pay,
and said to all companies, come
across with more money for your
help and we have had to do 1t. With
everything on the increase it is pos
sible that the telephone company may
be compelled to make a slight ad-
vance in telephone rates in the near
future, The Bell Telephone company
has already made a raise and the
smaller concerns may be compelled
to do so or quit business. We are
trying to save at every turn. and if a
raise in rates is finally made we ex-
pect to do away with collector and
give patrons a discount if they come
and pay their bills before the tenth of
