Named President of
Miners & Merchants Bank
At a recent meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Miners
& Merchants Bank of Alaska Boyd

tinue as chairman of the board
as well as assuming the new
duties of president.
Mr. Harwood succeeds E. J.
Rusing who has been the presi
dent since January. 1957. Mr.
Rusing resigned his position as
president of the Miners & Mer
chants Bank due to having re
cently established his residence
in Arizona. Mr. Rusing was
responsible for the purchase of
the Miners & Merchants Bank by
the present stockholders in Jan
uary, 1957, and, under his very
able leadership as president, the
bank has enjoyed a very sub
stantial growth in the past four
years.
It was with considerable re
luctance that the Board of Direc
tors accepted Mr. Rusing’s resig
nation. In recognition of the fine
job Mr. Rusing has done during
the past four years as president
of the bank, the board unanimous
ly named him an honorary life
time member of the Board of
Directors of the bank.
