Because the miners of early Junezu had confidence in B. M. Behrends, Merchant, they made him the depositary of their funds and valuables and eventually the Behrends Bank became a necessity. It was Mr. Behrends' integrity, fidelity to trust, and his loyalty and spirit of helpfulness to his clientele that built the Behrends Bank into one of the strongest institutions inthe Territory. Today the Behrends Bank with its long experience in Alaskan affairs and preserving THE B. M. BEHRENDS BANK OLDEST BANK IN ALASKA | the traditions of its founder, is rendering an efficient banking service o its customers. All busi- ness whether large or small is appreciated and handled with equal care and attention. L | | | | |
