Show I CLIFF MEMMOTT, Editor oEW BANK PROSPECTS STIR ENTHUSIASM LOCALLY .... Official announcement two weeks ago of the merger f the Roosevelt State Bank with the Commercial Bank !f Utah, and that in the near future they would build a w modern building to fill a void that has existed for V year's on the corner of Main and Lagoon streets in Roos-f Roos-f evelt, has been received generally by the citizenry of extern Duchesne county as a definite step forward " one that will do much to build the area up economically. The men who operate the Commercial Bank of Utah, 2i which has offices in five other central and southern Utah ft cities, are known for their keen knowledge of agricultural i ari livestock problems they are men who are capable s of sitting down with the small farmer and discussing his fl problems with him, with the same degree of interest I they would the big operator. . . .They have done much to -fr build up the areas in Utah where they function. :i ' Adding the experience of those who are coming into e' Duchesne county with the knowledge and experience of those who have successfully operated the Roosevelt State - Bank over the years, should form a combination that can't miss their majk of progress and success. Present plans call for the establishment of a branch ti7 of the bank at Duchesne, which is another announcement that is meeting joyful response from the people of that aiea . . . Hearings have been held, and unless some un-ijr un-ijr foreseen situation arises, the city of Duchesne will have its first bank since the early twenties. Duchesne county welcomes the merger of two fine financial institutions and its people generally will rally ' to those who will come to us to assist those who have v been with us over the years in administering the affairs i of the new enterprise. . . . From one who knows whereof 5 he speaks, I have this to say "No place in these United ; ) States of America will one find more friendly people than ' j live in this vast Basin. I have lived here ten short months, , and it seems that I have known the good people here 1 for years and years." How can an enterprise fail when it has a combination combina-tion of friendly -administrators and friendly clients who are working together for the progress and advancement of the area? i vEv The world has no room for cowards. We must all be I iiy somehow to toil, to suffer, to die. And yours is not 't -e less noble ' because no drum beats before . you when ;o'j go out into your daily battlefields, and no crowds 'out your coming when you return from your daily vic-' vic-' lory or defeat.
