National Bank resources. In 1919
State Bank resources amounted to
$25,965,000,000 and National Bank

ten years later-today in fact-State
Bank resources have jumped to S43,-

only $4,000, 100000. From a lead
of approximately five billions in 1919

He said that the store will remain open and the sale will go on as long as they are allowed to remain in the building, which is eventually to be tern down and new block erected MT. Goldschmidt seemed to take the complaint of the merchants, which led to his arrest, philosophically. He was not finding any fault nor did he appear vindictive when interviewed Monday afternoon.
 An old Law
 The itinerant vendor law, which has been on the statute books for over twenty-five years, provides that be- fore any person can establish a tenn pora~- retail business enterprise in any town or city in the state he must post bond of $500 with the state and pay to the state a license fee of Si00, good fer one year. This having been done a subsequent license fee Of $50 must be paid to the town or city in which the store is to be temporarily opened. There are other angles to the law to protect the public from fake and fradulent sales and misrepre- sentations.
