The Citizens
State Bank
HAYS CITY, KANSAS
HAYS CITY, KANSAS

Commerce is the mother of civilization, and the
great nations of antiquity have been distinguished
for the extent of their trade. Methods of exchange
have been vastly altered from ancient to modern
times; and in no features so much as in the manipua
ton of Individual corporate and national credit. A
bank as it exists today receiving deposits, drawing
bills of exchange making collections of drafts, dis
counting notes and placing loans, institution
inancient times. The cheapness of modern methods
of exchange were not only unheard of, but it is
doubtful if they could have been possible without
greater measure of security and interstate and
tonal peace than were then possessed. The Vene-
tans were the first modern nation to establish bank
according to the best authorities it organized in
1857 and lasted until I'LL Afterwards the bank of
Venice was established which retained its credit and
standing for $50 years. We should like to give the
history of banking from its incipiency down to the
present time but our space is limited
The Citizens State Bank was organized in
April 1900 and was conducted by the original organ
izers and promoters for eleven years. Eleven years
ago the management and control changed hands to
the present managers and owners. This bank has
always been progressive and has taken care Of its
customers businesslike way and at all times has
endeavored to do its part in supporting the business
interests of Ellis County and Hays City.
Ten years ago the present building was complet-
ed and at that time it generally thought that it
was far in advance of the country and town. It has
been fully demonstrated that this building is at the
present inadequate for the gorwing business of this
institution The office accommodations throughout
this building have always been fully occupied and
there are a number of people on the waiting list
should any of the present tenants decide to change
locations This institution be depended on at all
times to support any laudble undertaking that comes
up for the best interests of Ellis County and Hays
City They believe in all of the good institutions that
in Hays and striving to take their place and
do their part promote the best conditions for all
interested.
The President of this institution, C. G. Cochran,
here just before the erection of the present
substantial banking building. He has added much
to the push and energy in the upbuilding of Hays.
Mr.. Cochran is live wire and every undertaking he
backs with his money and energy is bound to be a
success.

This decline is unparalleled within the scope of records of the department dat ing back to 1S66
 During the years immediately fol- lowing the civil war the general trend of the average was downward, drop ping from about $14 or S15 per acre to less than $3 by 1896, the lowest point in the industrial depression of that time. An advance then set in and by 1913 the average value per acre was $16.49. The following year there was slight decline to $16.44 caused by the low price of cotton, but in 1916, the year before the United States en- tered the world war, the average ad- vanced to $22.58 or $6.14 in two years.
 By far the greatest gain in one year in average value per acre for 10 crops was S10.69 from 1916 to 1917 the average for the latter year being &92.25. The average for 1918 was S93.73.
