Crockett, cashier of the First National Bank of Logan, and Eugene Giles, cashier of the National Copper Bank, Salt Lake City. The election of Thomas N. Taylor of Utah County as president of the State Bankers Association is indeed a distinct honor for the valley. President Presi-dent Taylor has been in the banking business but- eleven years and yet during that short time he has established estab-lished an enviable reputation as j a keen business man and an up-to-date banker of the twentieth century type. This is the second year that this honor hon-or has been given to some other section sec-tion outside of the two larger cities of Utah, and the people of this county coun-ty should indeed feel highly honored. It is a signal honor also for the Farmers Far-mers and Merchants Bank, one of the young institutions of the state, and also one of the smaller banks as far at least as capital goes. The honor came as a distinct surprise sur-prise to the Provo delegates and it might be mentioned that neither of the three Provo delegates were on the nominating committee which selected Bishop Taylor. Delegates from Provo to the convention con-vention were W. H. Brereton, president presi-dent of the State Bank; Joseph T. Farrer, casbier of the Provo Commercial Commer-cial and Savings Bank, nd Thomas N. Taylor, president of the Fanners and Merchants Bank. Resolutions asking that Utah congressmen con-gressmen and state senators work for a more equitable distribution of government gov-ernment war- orders with respect to the State of Utah, were unanimously adopted and copies were ordered to be sent to the state representatives at Washington. |
