Authors

  • N. R. Knight

Abstract

"The formal establishment of banking institutions began in Oregon in 1859 and in Washington a decade later, but many years previously certain definite functions had been performed on a small scale by merchants, express companies and others. The transactions consisted of collecting, the buying and selling of exchange, the negotiating of loans, and the receiving of gold, money, and other valuables on deposit."
