Postcard of First National Bank, circa 1917 owned by Jean Walker

First National Bank of Douglas is incorporated under the laws of Arizona and is a United States depository. It was organized with a capitalization of $100,000, and its management comprises some of the most reliable and prominent citizens of the state. Honorable B. A. Packard, a pioneer Arizona business man whose reputation throughout the state for business ability, integrity and efficiency is absolutely unexcelled, is the president. Being a man whose personality has attracted to him positions of honor and trust, both appointive and elective, Mr. Packard's name in the list of organizers and at the head of this institution has been one of its valuable assets from the beginning. E. W. Graves, cashier, is a thoroughly trained and competent bank official. . He has been known in the financial life of Arizona for many years and spent almost two decades in the employ of the Consolidated National Bank of Tucson, and to his business capacity and uniform courtesy much of the bank's continuous growth may be attributed. Its deposits now amount to more than $850,000, and its total resources are more than a million. Its affairs are judiciously managed on a broad, but conservative, basis, and its facilities, both financial and physical, for accommodating the public wants are ample. The First National Bank is located on the most prominent corner in Douglas, Tenth and "G" Avenues, in a modern, complete three story building which is an addition to the business section of the city. The equipment is modern and includes a large safety deposit vault. The Board of Directors includes the officials previously named and T. E. Pollock, president of the Arizona Central Bank of Flagstaff; L. W. Powell, well known mining man of Cochise County; James Wood, George Dawe and B. A. Packard, all of Douglas.
