THE FOUNDATIONS.
What Underlies the Indus
tries of the Section.
Pactolean Streams That Fruc

The Golden Current That Carries Our
Commerce Along With It. "
The Banks and Bankers of Los Angeles
With the Sums Carried on Deposit
By Our Merchants.
Between 1884 and 1887 Southern Cali
fornia underwent an experience in the
line of development unique in the his
tory of the world. Population poured
in here like a flood; new farms were
planted; new homes were founded;
new railroads were built; new towns
were founded; small towns grew into
cities, and cities increased their popula
tion 500 per cent, and twice as much.
In the twelve months immediately fol
lowing the culmination of this boom
came a collapse as remarkable as the
former era of prosperity. Speculative
trading in real property had been car
ried to an extreme point, and the thing
had to stop. It stopped all at ones, and
the real estate market was almost dead
for a year. It re main ad in a very slow
state for another year, and has just
picked up as to country property this
fall. The renewed currents of life have
not yet reached the town lot department
of the business. No sect ion of the coun
try probably ever owed so much money
in proportion to population and area
as we did when the collapse' came in
1887; and no section ever came through
such an ordeal with so little damage
done as we did. In the four years since
the boom burst has there been one fail
ure among the financial institutions of
this section, and not more than two or
three failures have been recorded of pri
vate parties in the whole section in a|l
that time. Reference is had to specula
tors in real property who operated on a
scale of any magnitude. Failures in the
mercantile community have been very
few and very insignificant. The mean
ing of this is that the banks of this sec
tion weathered the storm in most ad
mirable manner, and carried the entire
people through with them in perfect
safety. The history of the boom, with
all its temptations to rashness, and the
• history of the collapse, with its tempta
tions to lose courage, both lines of temp
tations so splendidly resisted, speak
volumes in praise of" the conservative
and steadfast men who guided the sec
tion so safely through the swift currents
of the era of speculation, and the more
dangerous shoals of the era of liquida
tion. In thia New Year's edition of the
Herald a short sketch of a few of our
banks can not fail to prove of interest.
Till-: FARMERS AND MERCHANTS.
Let us begin with the oldest of the
banks, the Farmers and Merchants,
whose offices and vaults are on the cor
ner of North Main and Commercial
streets. The last statement shows the
following table of assets and liabilities:

A bank with a million and a quarter
of paid, up capital, surplus and undi
vided profits is generally in a very ro
bust condition; and a bank with depos
its to the amount of nearly two million
arid a half is surely popular with the
capitalists. Then it would be hard to
find another institution in a community
of 60,000 people with a full million and
a half of available cash.
TUB FIRST NATIONAL.
Let us take another Los Angeles bank,
whose premises are only a few doors
south of the last named:

Comparisons are not popular, but
one is tempted to challenge any com
munity of twice the size of this to pro
duce a bank which can make a better
showing than the above. Here are de
posits ol over a, million and a half, and
available resources, as good as cash, of
over two million dollars. An attempted
ran on such a bank would be as unsuc
cessful as an attempt to carry away a
mountain in a cart. It might 'be done,
bnt Gabriel'« trumpet would sound be
fore the last load could be reached. No
wonder failures are few and confidence
abundfent in a community with banks

conservatively conducted as here.
THE LOS ANGELES NATIONAL.
But this does not well begin the list
of Los Angeles banks. If these two are
good what is this that makes three of a
kind? The Los Angeles National bank
is on the corner of Spring and First
streets in its otvn fine new block, one of
the handsomest piles in the city. Its
last exhibit runs like this:

Markham, Perry M. Green, John Bry
son. Sr., Dr. H. Sinsabaugh, F. C.

Here we get another total of over two
million dollars of resources and a mil
lion of private deposits. How the gross
amount of money in this community
rolls up as one scans these figures on de
posit! The people after an experience
with their brokers, such as is outlined
above, know where to put confidence,
as these figures will sufficiently prove.
In the Los Angeles National"there is
behind every obligation not only solid
stacks of coin, but Solid masses of con
servative wisdom, better, perhaps, than
gold pieces, for money may take wings
and fly away if not properly guarded,
while wisdom guards itself and the coin.
THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIONAL.
A fourth great financial institution of
the city is the Southern California Na
tional bank, whose offices are at the cor
ner of Spring and First streets, under
the Nadeau hotel. It is comparatively
a new bank, but it has made great pro
gress, and stands among the foremost of
the money concerns of Los Angeles. Its
authorized capital is $500,000, of which
$200,000 is paid up, and it has accumu
lated a surplus of $25,000. At the head
of this bank is L. N. Breed, president;
VV. F. Bosbyshell, viee-preeident; and
C. N. Flint, cashier. The directors are:
L. N. Breed, M. Hagan, A. W. Rich
ards, Cbas. E. Day, W. F. Boßbyshell,
Frank Rader, H. A. Barclay, H.T. New
ell, Tbos. Gobs, E. C. Bosbyshell, David
Remick.
The bank makes a specialty of collec
tions throughout Arizonaand California.
The principal .correspondents of the
bank are: Chase National bank, New
York; Union National bank, Chicago,
111.; Commercial bank, St. Louis, Mo.;
State National bank. Denver, Col.;
National Bank of Commerce, Kansas
City, Mo.; Omaha National bank,
Omaha, Neb. ;Knanth,Nachod & Kuhne,
New York; First National bank, Albu
querque, N. M.; Bank of California,
San Francisco, Cal.; First National
bank, San Bernardino, Cal.; First Na
tional bank. Milwaukee. Wis.; Mer
chants' National bank, Boston, Mass.;
California National bank, San Diego,
Cal.; San Gabriel Valley bank, Pasa
dena, Cal.
Since the opening of the bank it haa
secured a very large amount of the pat
ronage of the public, and during the
past few years of i ather slack business
transactions, deposits have steadily in
creased, until the bank is now in the
foremost ranks of this section. It has
been of special service to the community
recently in the successful negotiation of
city bonds on most favorable terms.
THE UNIVERSITY BANK.
To return from the list of national
banks, the University bank, at 317 New
High street, north of Temple, claims at
tention. A statement made a few days
ago gives the following excellent show
ing for this institution:
Resources (loans) $244,407.98
Office furniture and fixtures 2,796.77
Expenses and taxes paid 8,705.50
Cash on hand and due from banks. 94,344.80
$350,255.05
" LIABILITIES.
Capital stock $100,000.00
SurplUß 31,000.00
Earnings 18.638.95
Deposits 200,616.10
$350,255.05
It is officered as follows: R. M. Wid
dey, president; George L. Arnold, cash
ier; R. M. Widnev, D. O. Miltimore,
8. W. Little, C. M. Wells, L. H. Titus,
C. A. Warner and L. J. P. Morrill, di
rectors.
This bank is one of the most recent
financial ventures of the city, but the
high character and financial responsi
bility of those in charge won for it at
once a large degree of popularity and
corresponding share of public patron
age. Judge Widney has been a resident
of the city for a quarter of a century,
and has held many positions of great
trust. His work in founding the Uni
versity of Southern California, and bis
management of its finances, have fully
established his reputation as a careful,
capable and conservative financier. The
bank benefits greatly by his reputation,
and as its head he draws to it a large
amount of business. The directors are
all well-known business men oi the
highest standing.
THE NATIONAL BANK Oi CALIFORNIA,
The newest national b.ink here, illus
trates the improved state of things in a
business way in thiß city.
This bank was organized last year anil
has already securer! a voluuie'of busi
ness that enables it to pay dividends on
its capital stock.
It js an institution, fortunate in its
location and in the standing an \ busi
ness ability of its shareholders and
directors, who are men of such charac
ter as insure confidence in careful and
conscientious management and, as a
consequence, success.
THE MAIN STBKET SAVINGS BANK.
It will be well to close this brief article
on a few of our banks with a reference
to one o( the tarings institutions of the
city. v lbe Main Street Savings bank
about, two y»*rm
lion. It has $319,0000n deposit, nearly all
of which is loaned out on good security,
making money for depositors and stock
holders. The bank has walked into pop
ular favor daily since it was first opened.
Ita president, J. B. Lankershim, is an
old resident of the city, and his financial
strength is well known. He is an excel
lent business man, whose first care is
the safety of the money in his charge.
The statement to tte found elsewhere
tells the whole story of the success of the
bank.
NOTED BALL TOSSERS.
WELL-KNOWN EXPERTS WHO WILL
PLAY TODAY.
Game Will Be Called at Half - Past
Two O'clock at the Temple - Street
Grounds.
The admirers of the national pastime
will be out in full force this afternoon,
when the San Francisco and Los Angeles
nines cross bats. All day yesterday
workmen were busy getting the Temple
street grounds in order, and everything
will be in readiness when Umpire Sheri
dan calls out, "Play ball," at 2:30 this
afternoon. Both teams are confident of
victory. Ebright captains the visiting
delegation, and Los Angeles' favorite
player, Pete Lohman, is the skipper of
the home club. This will be the first
crack game since the Oaklands played
here last winter, and the attendance will
run into the thousands.
The local enthusiasts are thoroughly
worked up, and the champions of the
diamond will get a hearty reception this
afternoon. Los Angeles will not forget
Buck Ebright and Charley Dooley, who
played with the nine that represented
this city three winters since. They will
not forget Pete Lohman who made such,
a brilliant record for himself in the Cal
ifornia league last season. Give Pete a
rally when he gets behind the bat this
afternoon. Remember Holliday and
Fogarty, who did such noble service for
the local team in the series with Oak
land last season. The Los Angeles pub
lic will have a chance to applaud for the
first time StapletOn and Reitz, two play
ers of reputation. Give Knell and
Carsey a send off. Both are great
pitchers. Every arrangement has been
made for the comfort of those who
attend.
Get the Best.

A Business Change.
In the Herald today is a card from
Mr. John Moriarty, who announces that
he has transferred his grocery business
at 137 North Main street, to Mr. John
Herlihy. The new proprietor has been
connected with the business in a most
confidential way for a long time past,
and therefore is well acquainted with
all its details. He will maintain the
excellent reputation of the place, hold
the goodwill of all old customers, and
add new ones daily to the list.
ulro. Geo. P. Sraoote. a highly cultivated
■nd eetiranble lady of Prescott, Ark., writes
undcrdateof April 22,89: "During the sum
incr of 1887 my eyes became inflamed, and
ny stomach and liver hopelessly disordered.
Nothing I ate agreed with me. I took chron
ie diarrhoea, and for some time my life was
despaired of by myfamily. The leading phy
"i'-ians of the country were consulted, but
the medicine* administered by them never
did mo any permanent good, and I lingered
bet weeii life and death, the latter being pre
lernblo to tr agonies I wa* enduring, fn
May, 188S, I became disgusted with physi
cians and their medicines. I dropped them
all and depended solely on Swift's Specific
(S. S. S.), a few bottles of which made me
penitently well—well from then until now."
