situation is the center around which
many of the cooperative associations
of the community have been form
ed, the officials taking keen in
terest in these organizations which
have to do with the development of
the farm and the marketing of the
products.
The bank building, which now forms
the home Of the Mason State Bank,
was started during the late summer
and was completed just before the
close of the year 1921. The bank
building is of brick construction,
throughout. 1t has a full basement.
The main floor or banking room is
square in shape. In the front Of
the institution is the offices of the
President and Cashier. Through
the center of the room is the orna-
mental metal railing and counter
which divides the lobby and banking
room. The office furniture is the
finest that money can buy.
The bank is equipped with burglar
and fireproof vault, equipped with
the latest burglary devises, including
electrical systems, and has a:modern
burglar proof safe, similar to the
ones used in the larger banks.
At the left of the banking room is
the private office and store room and
stenographer's room. To the rear is
another store room and the basement
has been equipped with shelving for
the storage of old records.
The bank is heated with a hot
water heating plant, is lighted by
electricity and has running water
and sanitary toilet outfits. 1t has
a cherry appearance from every
angle.
Below we give brief history Of
the Institution from the time of Or
ganizaticn down to the present day.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-01-05

The first officers, were: Edward
Hines, President, H. E. Rohlf of
Hayward, Vice-President, G. H.
Werden, Cashier, and O. M. Axness
and C. l. Larson, Asst. Cashiers. The
original Capital Stock was $4,000.
The banking rooms consisted of a
corner in the lumber offices of the
company, and continued there until
the lumber company completed their
lumber cut and sold the town site.
The bank then bought the office build
ing and used it for banking rooms
until recently when it was moved
into the new brick building construct
ed this year. When the law re-
quiring bank officers 90 be residents
of the state was passed, change
had to be made and the following
were elected: C. H. Werden, Presi-
dent, C. l. Larson, Vice-President,
o. M. Axness, Cashier and H. j..
Axness, Asst. Cashier. These men
have continued as officers ever since.
Up to 1915, the active working force
of the bank consisted of one man, with
such necessary assistance as needed
from the office force of the lumber
company. Since then it has become
necessary to increase the working
force so that at the present time
here are four actively engaged.
The bank also included the offices
of the following companies, Nth
which bank officials are Connected:
Mason Mercantile Co., c. H. Werden
Lumber Co., Mason Cooperative
Creamery Co., Bayfield, County Farm
ers Mutual ms. Co., North Wiscon-
sin Telephone Co., Mason Light &
Power Co., Mason National Farm
Loan Assn.
The Capital Stock was increased
his year to $4,000 with Surplus
Fund of $500. The assets OF the
bank now average over 100000.
C. HI. ,Werden, President
C. H. Werden came to Mason in
1905 as resident manager of the
White River Lumber Co., and bought
out the town site and some unsold
tracts of land that comprised the
holdings at that time of the Lumber
Co., when they quit business in 1914,
He then plated the town, organized
the Mason Mercantile Co. and G. Il.
Werden Lumber Co, and later sold
the town site and remaining lands
| to the Axness Bros, sold his inter
ests in the Mason Mercantile Co., and
moved to Ashland to engage exclu-
sively in the retail lumber business
and banking. He is now director
I! in the Northern National Bank at
Ashland as we'll as President OF this
bank, and is interested in retail lum-
Der yards at Ashland, Moquah,
Benoit and Mason. He served as

be other bank buildings larger, there
may be buildings. which cost more
money to erect, but tere is not a
bank in this part of the state that
has better facilities for the tran
sacion of business than this institu-
ton, located in the garden spot" OF
Bayfield, county, and naturally the
officers of this institution, as we'll
as the people of the country in which
the banks activities are conferred, are
proud of this new banking institu-
ton.
When the Mason State Bank was
first organized, back in 1905, people
generally wondered how bank
could exist, but they lost sight of
the fine farming district in this part
of BAYFIELD, county, which banking
officials had the foresight to see would
develop rapidly, and upon which the
bank would have to depend for its
business when the numbering activi-
ties were completed in this section.
This bank rapidly gained the con-
fidence of the farmers of the Mason
district, for it's officers We're always
ready and willing to get behind any
proposition that meant for che deve-
lopment of the fine farming section,
through the loaning of money for
farm development, farm buildings,

manager and has held this position
ever since and after the reorganiza-
ton into the Mason Mercantile Co.
He has also been postmaster of Ma
son for the past 20 years. He owns
and conducts large farm, in fact
the largest and most developed farm
in this vicinity. His thoro know
ledge of the farming industry and the
credit department. make him valu-

when the bank was started, since
which time he has been actively en-
gagged with the bank. He was elect
ed town treasurer in 1906, which
office he held for nine years, when ne

which the farmer had to contend,
met with him at his home and offered
aid and advice, with the result that
the bank has always kept pace with
the farm development.
The bank started out with a
capital stock of $4,000, and because
of the growth of the business this year
has had to be increased to $4,000
with surplus fund of $4,000, and
