After a long and honvahlc business
career extjmding through the greater
part of Nome's existence as a civic
center, the Alaska Banking and Safe
Deposit Company, thp oldest banking
institution and one of the earliest es
tablished business concerns of the
camp, announced today its retirement
on July 1. The depositor's accounts
of the institution will be transferred to
the Miners and Merchants Bank,
which will act as the liquidating agent
of the retiring bank. The retirement
removes another old landmark that
has been a most Important factor In
the business and Industrial life of the
community and its absence in the fut
ure will he a matter of sincere regret
to nil whose interests are identified
with this section. Air. J. V. Sheldon,
president and manager of the institu
tion states that the retirement is at
tributable principally to the narrow
ing down of the business life of the
camp during the past few years and
that the. bank is closing its accounts
after a profitable anil satisfactory
career.
The Alaska Hanking and Safe De
posit Company was established by the
late hr. Cabell Whitehead, with d
group of Washington capitalists ns its
financial backers, in 1900 during the
early days of the great gold rush
which made Nome famous the world
over. The business prospered and
the institution soon developed into one
of the leading enterprises In Alaska*.
Following Dr. Whitehead’s unfortun
ate death by aceiilent, the management
was continued by Air. Frank W. Thatc
her. I<nter;.the management was tak
en over by the present incumbent. J.
V. Sheldon. Throughout its long car
eer the bank maintained the highest
esteem of the community and leaves
behind it an enviable record for busi
ness integrity and fair dealing.
A letter from the Nennnn Com
mercial Club reaching the Nome
Chamber of Commerce revives the
project advocated by the Nome com
mercial organization a year or. two
ago to create .an Alaska Chamber pf
Commerce to represent the commer
cial and development interests of the
whole territory.
The Nennnn club suggests that
efforts be made to organize a terri
torial chamber and tentatively pro
Iposes the election of a certain number
of representatives by each organiza
tion to act as a permanent territorial
committee or or headquarters through
which prompt results may be secured.
It is also suggested that arrangements
be made for the attendance of dele
gates at Juneau or some other point
when circumstances warrant. As a
means of assisting the work of the
Territorial body it is suggested that
efforts bo made to secure special rates
over the government telegraph sys
tem on telegrams between local com
mercial organizations and also be
tween the Alaska Delegate to Con
gress and the Juneau aepresentatives
of the Chamber.

The* letter says that in this manner
and without great cxpensb, Buch a
central body could keep In x-onstant
touch with the whole Territory and
take appropriate action.
