Rock Springs Miner advertisement, 1915
A newspaper advertisement from the Rock Springs Miner, 1915, publicizing the bank’s assets and financial stability. The million-dollar asset figure was not exaggerated, as Comptroller reports reveal over $930,000 in financial resources during 1915, which does not include the bank’s surplus assets. Also, note the bank’s promotion of being a federal depositary, which meant the national government could store financial assets, like precious metals, in Rock Springs, another way of indicating its fiscal security to the public.
