Tremendous Growth

''The resources of the Pacific
Southwest-First National Banking
Group six years ago were Sl2O, ,OO0,
600; today they approximate 1921
100000. True, $67,000000 were
added through merger, but $l20,-
100000 represent growth that can
be accounted for only upon the bas-
is of a needed service, well render
cd and accepted by an appreciative
public. Six years ago our deposit
ors numbered l05,271: today they
number 36S ,240-a conclusive dem
onstration of the reception of our
varied services on the part Of the
public.
But more significant has been the
apparent immunitv from failure Of
the banks within our territory dur
ing these five difficult years of
banking evolution as compaied with
conditions elsewhere in the United
States. Sin"e 1872, 1923 banks in
the United States have closed. The
last two years have been years Of
prosperity for this wonderful nation
with its tremendous resources Of
men, money, and of Nature; and yet
in these two years of plenty, 1912
banks have closed their doors. The
explanation usually given is that
these banks have failed in agricul-
tural territory and that agriculture
and the stock.raising industry have
been passing through difficult
years. This explanation is plausible
until we remember that California,
too, is essentially an agricultural
state. Our prosperity is based pri-
marilv upon an agricultural output
which in value approXimates that Of
Texas and Illinois, the leading agri-
cultural states. but California s ag-
ricnltural prosperity is based upon
the production and sale of fruits
and vegetables which are largely in
the luxury class and not Of food
staples which the world must have
at some price; but California has
been immune from the wave Of fail
ure that has engulfed 50 many
banks elsewhere.
The reason is found, in part ut
least, III the type Of cooperative in
tcr-cOmmunity banking service
which our institution and others of
its type have made available in
California. From time to time we
! lave taken into our organization 10.
cal banks that were in trouble,
bringing peace and security to their
! depositors and our added powers of
service and support to the commun-
tiles which they serve.
Our relations with our indcpen.
dent - banker friend are cordial and
oftentim close. 1t is significant
that our banks are the principal
correspondents of many banks with
which we compete at many points
We have actually entered certain
communities in the agricultural dis
tricts upon the invitation and re
