Cabarrus Savings Bank Old and Tried Local Institution i There is no financial institution in Con cord which reflects in a more substantial way the thrift and industry for which. Cabarrus is noted, than the Cabarrus Savings Bank, whose-new home is rear ing t>i<oudly across the street from where' the bank's present modest quarters have been outgrown. As Cabarrus has prog ressed iu wealth and influence, so has the Cabarrus Savings Bank, which today as regarded as one of the strongest pro gressive financial institutions of its kind in the state.- With resources of over $3,- 000,000.00 it has reached its present stage of importance upon aa original capital of $50,000. True it hats bud the advantage which careful and far seeing management confer. , The first president was the late David Franklin Cannon, who served until his death in 1905. The first cashier was the late James Gibson, who died in 1900. H. Irvin Woodhouse, the present president, has seen the bank grow from the beginning and has done his full part in placing' the bank where it stands today, but he is a modest man. Suffice to say that he began as teller, nor was he too proud to act as janitor and mail boy in the early days. Moreover he was a success as a janitor and a mail boy, working on the principle that any job is* worth doing well. Today he is president, good enough proof that the principles which actuated him in his bus iness career were sound. Upon the death of Mr. Cannon, Mr. WoodboUHe, who was Then cashier, became president and has held the post ever since with honor and profit to the bank. A notable group of business men associated with the Ca- harms Savings Bank as follows: M. I«. Cannon, vice president; C. W. gwink, cashier; W. (}. Caswell, assistant cashier; Directors, M. L.'Cannon.
