CRAWFORD STATE BANK

Last Thursday afternoon there was
complete a deal whereby the affairs
of The Crawford State Bank under
went very great change. This was
brought about by the change in the
ownership of 95 per cent of the capt.
tai stock of the bank. This 95 per
cent of the capital stock was acquired
by the following parties: A. B. Critch-
low, W. B. Roe, August Sundberg,
Leslie Savage and George Tracy.
These parties after acquiring all tie
stock of the Crawford State Bank
with the exception of one single block
of five shares, at once turned over to
the bank as a free gift the sum of
$11,S75. This gift in cash means that
| the bank has placed its affairs in the
best of condition and the owners feel
they can look any man right in the
eye and tell him that the bank is in
| absolutely sound condition in every
way.
| There is no question about the
| bank being in the hands of men who
not only have the interest of the bank
at heart, but who likewise have the
interest of our community at heart.
They are all ranch and cattle owners
and each of them desires to do his
full share for the benefit of our coun,
try.
The editor of this paper was told
by the deputy state bank commits
sioner of the state of Colorado that
the above named owners of the bank
had proven themselves by their acts
and deeds and actual cash to be loyel
in every way to the bank, not only by
their willingness to do whatever they
| could for the bank, but by actually
walking up to the bank and turning
over to it the sum of s11,S15 in real
cash, and furthermore that the con-
dition of the bank was such that when
he left Crawford last Tuesday after
noon he was feeling perfectly salts
fed as to the condition of the bank,
and that the affairs of the bank We're
in healthy and safe condition. deserv-
i ing of the confidence. and good will
of the people.
4 The owners of the bank have re-
quested the Chronicle to say to the
people that they and each of them
feel absolutely certain that all money
deposited with the bank is Just as
safe as it would be in any bank in
! the United States. furthermore they
feel. and those who have given the
matter any thought will we are sure
agree with them. that a bank does
not have to be big bank to be a
safe bank.
| The affairs of the bank will be un-
der the supervision of the five direc-
tors: w. b. Roe. George Tracy, Les
| lie J. Savage. August Sundberg and
A. b. Critchlow. The officers are as
follows: w B. Roe, president;
George Tracy. vice president; Leeslie
J. Savage. cashier, and Burtis Critch-
low assistant cashier.
The Chronicle believes that the
change in the affairs of the bank
marks the beginning of smoother sail
inc Tor the bank and that the county
/ as a whole will receive direct or in
direct benefits by the change. and
we feel from what the directors and
( the assistant bank commissioner has
told them, that we can truthfully say
to the people that the bank is in
competent hands and that their con-
dition is such that the confidence and
good will of the people is deserved.
We believe the community will re-
ward the bank by giving them their
loyal support.-Crawford Chronicle.

the producers of this section were
presented 10 the national commits
sion through their special repre-
sentatiyes, Henry ]. Ford, has
strong hopes that relief will be
forthcoming In time to save the
situation.
Spraying remains undone, boxes
have not been ordered and the en-
tire program Of caring for the
fruit crop OF this territory lags
because OF inability to finance the
industry, according to testimony
presented iy producers at the Ya-
kima conference. Bankers are un-
willing to extend loans to the pro-
ducers until market is assured |
and this In turn depends upon the
attitude Of the carriers and the
extension Of lower rates which will |
permit Of the marketing Of the
products Of this section in the
eastern and middle western states.

plowed In the orchards and berry
