BANK OF BACA COUNTY
REoRGANIZES; TENTH YEAR
Two Buttes, Colo, Sentinel:

Two buCCeS, COiO., OeHLihei'
The Bank of Baca County was re-
organized Saturday afternoon at a
directors meeting, following the vol
untary designations of Charles Max
we'll and J. M. Williams Of Lamar, as
president and vice president, respect
fully, and as directors. Onda Young
was elected president and S. l..
Thompson of Stonington vice presi-
dent. N. G. Jones retains his posi-
ton as cashier The reorganization
of the bank places its management
under the control of local men. 1t
is believed that within thirty days the
ownership of the bank will be con-
trolled by Two Buttes and Baca
County parties.
The bank, though a small one, is
one of the soundest and most con-
sentative banking institutions in
Southeastern Colorado. It's officers
are responsible and successful bust
ness men and the banks conservative
policy has been justified by the fact
that it holds no worthless paper and
that it suffered practically no loss
during the recent period of depres-
sion. The bank has no bills payable
and no rediscounts. AS part of its
conservative policy it has always
carried in excess of the 20 per cent
legal reserve. The officers state that
the balance sheet Monday showed
reserve of 35 per cent.
