Good Word for Mr. Williams.
Ira E. Williams and family of Beem
er removed to Loup City*. Sherman
county, on Monday. Their car of
poods' was taken there by Carl, the
oldest son. Mr. Williams went to that
place on Monday, while the wife and
children remained a few days at Fre
mont.
We are sorry to see this estimable
family leave our county. For the past
fourteen years they have been instru
mental in the upbuilding of the busi
ness, social and religous affairs of
Beemer and vicinity. We wish them
unmeasured success and true friends
in their new location, but hope they
will retain somewhat their unpardon
able pride in Beemers welfare and
remember their old friends when they
meet with the new.
Mr. Williams sold his interests at
Beemer. invested in the First Nation
al Bank at Loup City and lias taken
the eashiersliip of same. He would
not have gone to that place were it
not a good and substantial one. He
has had years of experience in book
keeping and banking-and knows the
ground thoroughly.
He took charge of the Beemer State
bank in February. 1894. a time when
the money stringency left the re
sources of the bank at the lowest
mark. He found the deposits $18.<kki
and left them at $118.00n. When he
terminated his services at the Beemer
bank, not a hundred dollars of bad
loans could be found. He personally
guaranteed to his successor that all
the papers would meet the unqualified
approval of the board of directors and
if any did not he would take those
himself. Three months have passed
and none have thus far been returned
to him. His strict integrity and con
servative business methods gave the
bank a safe and sound standing among
business men.
Prior to bis banking experience, lie
w as for six years head bookkeeper and
traveling auditor for the Fuller &
Fuller company, and lived at Scribner.
Previous to that he was secretary for
some years of the Glenwood Canning
company of Iowa. In all his positions,
he met uniformly the high esteem of
his employers and as the head of the
Beemer bank he was tendered the
hearty approval of the stockholders
and directors for his honesty and suc
cess. His record is one that any man
might well feel proud of.—Cuming
County Democrat.
