All of Bismarck’'s five banks— The Virst National, City National, Bi marck, Capital Security and First Guaranty & Deposit —are now mem- bers of this organization, making daily clearings through the association. The volume of current local business han- dled may be judged from the fact that in one day, Jan. 2, $56,927.98 in check and dafts was cleared through this a sociation. The first day of its opera- tions, t. 6, the association cleared $31,04 in purely local business, and the second day checks and drafts to the emount of $50,721.74 were cleared. The purely local business cleared for the week ending January 12 totalled $1770,782.02, and this does not include; a large volume of business handled; through the banks in the county out- side of Bismarck, nor the state clear- ings, which aggregate as much as $100,000 in a single day through only one of the five members of the asso- ciation, nor the postoffie and county business. The capital city’s banks regard the clearing house association as a most important advance in Bismarck bank- ing methods, and there is no question as to the value of the association as) a means of keeping watch of the city’s financial pulse. Postoffice Receipts. The Bismarck postoffice claims for 1917 a greater proportional gain in re- ceipts than shown by any other city in North Dakota. The Bismarck post- office now is in the first class, but were it not for war times and econ- 2 omy’s necessities, the record of the : last year would advance the capital city one! or two sub-divisions higher in fis class. The office now stands second to none in North Dakota, ‘The receipts for the year were $113,547.43, an increase of $28,301.84 Over aggregate receipts of $85,345.59 ii 1916: In 1919 thé receipts of the Bismarck petoffice were: but $38,561- 17; in 1911, ‘$41,091.16; in 1912, $43 612.47; in 1913, $57,499.52; in 1914, $59,9299.90; ‘in 1915, $74,485.28. The gain for 1917 is more than twice as great as that)shown for any other RS eo” ge “xe ache ene * Sab vouseuavcsndsesecscsseesescsecsessencunescceqgeccces-sceestesse- Mail All ' Subscriptions to the Circulation Dept. year in the last Lees bases ah } ves Every quarter for lowed ai an rat ¢ s Sia, b Pe ee tan : SRF RS IA ah The Bismarck \Tribune Z ter of 1916, as\ follows: Sammy on his return from headquarters where he was repri- : ae aoe z : 2 {QUARTER 1916 goo bcieg| manded severely, is challenged: meet ~~ ss “Bismarck, North Dakota = ia ee rit tty 914. “Halt!
