THE COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK

     Of Portland, Oregon, was organized on January 1, 1886, with a capital stock
of $100,000.  Two years later, the stock was increased to $150,000.  In May,
1891, the capital stock was again increased, this time to $250,000 surplus and
profits $175,000, its deposits being $1,682,248.70 and its total sources being,
$2,155,897.99
     Such figures explain themselves, and show a wonderful and successful
business career of only five years, and also shows the popularity of the bank,
and the estimate that its patrons have of it and its management.
     The officers are:  D. P. Thompson, president; Frank Dekum, vice-president;
R. L. Durham, cashier; F. E. Langford, assistant cashier.
