We can try by letting our feelporation made a bid for Utah Power ings be known to stockholders We and Light Company makingall kinds can sign petitions against the sell and turn them over to First Security Bank so they will know how we feel cxn We can also write letters to the addresses isted below fyou care about saving the Gunnison Valley Bank act today time is just about out Make your feelings known Take time to write today Bank business is all a 'Buzzzzz' Dear Editor The buzzzz around the valley in recent weeks has been the possible sale of the Gunnison Valley Bank to a corporate bank on the Wasatch Front Given the number of years in continuous operation and its stable condition one wonders why this plan is being perused Why is First Security Bank the only bank applying for this acquisition? Why hasn’t Zions Utah Independent or First Interstate Bank been pursuing the opportunity as well? It almost seems like there is an air of secrecy attached to the pending sale Are there any real advantages to selling out to First Security Bank? In my estimation only the large stockholders would reap any benefits can appreciate theii desire to look out for themselves and their personal gain who of us wouldn't but they are selling out the very people who put them in the position they are in today It is a sad omen The Gunnison Valley Bank is in good financial condition and offers personal caring attention to it’s customers Paul Steve Marge and the other employees have taken on a great deal of responsibility the last few years and have done the job am sure they must feel admirably QSG3U The TIME BOMB!
