A Short History of an En
terprising Firm
No city can thrive and prosper and.folfill
its mission among the people of the world
without the presence of safe and sound
banking institutions.
In tnis respect Athens is peculiarly
blessed, and her banks are ranked high
among the banks of the Union. They are
known far and wide for their safe yet pro-
giessive policy.
And among them all none ranks higher
or is entitled to a higher meed of praise
than the Bank of the University.
The Bank of the University was incor
porated in 1873 and began business in
April of that year. Mr. Yonng L. 6. Har
ris was president; Mr. A. P. Bearing, cash
ier; Mr. A. L. Hall, teller; Dr. H. N. Har
ris, book-keeper.
No banking institution could have
j tar ted with a safer, more reliable^r more
progressive set of officers in charge of
its affiiirs. The Bank of the University
was the successor in business of the oid
Georgia Railroad Bank Agency.
Subsequently Mr. Harris resigned, and
tlsjor M. Stanley was elected president,
which office he retained many years, being
succeeded by Dr. Jobn A. Hunnicutt,who
•u turn after several years of splendid ser
vice was succeeded by Mr. Billups Phini-
&y, who is at present its efficient president
Upon the retirement of Mr. Dearing, Mr
A. L. Hull was elected cashier, which
•fflcehehas filled and continues to fill
vith great ability and satisfaction.
Tne capital stock of the University Bank
is $125,00C, and there are undivided pro*
its to the amount of 135,000. This in it
self shows that the Bank has been doing a
iplondid business.
But more than this—since its organiza
tion in 1873 the Bank has paid oat in div-
i h & is $210,625,and its stock has increased
r> m par value to 145.
Tais is a showing of which any bank
ing institution might feel proud, and the
citizens ol Athens are proud of the fact
that it is an Athens institution.
Theie are seventy-two stockholders of
the Bank of the University, nearly all of
them citizens of Athens. The Southern
Mutual Insurance Company is the largest
stockholder, owning 120 shares. The
Southern Mutuhi is one of the largest,
safest, and best Insurance Companies in
the Union, and the confidence it thus re
poses in University Bank stock is a high
tribute to the worth of this banking insti
tution.
The management of the Bank of the
University has always been conservative,
and the rates of discount within the legal
limits.
It is the State depository, designated as
such by the Governor of Georgia, and
u umbers among its depositors many of
the wealthiest citizens and the strongest
corporations in Atheos.
Its slock is readily sought for at 145,and
its dividends come as regularly as clock
work. It is considered among business
men as one of the safest investments to
be made to bay stock in this bank.
Daring the twenty years of its existence,
by careful management on the part of its
efficient officers, it has acquired a name in
the business world that marks it as an ex
tremely solid institution.
Its present officers are: Billups Phini-
zy, President; A. L. Hall, Cashier; C. H.
Newton, Book-keeper.
But a glance into the histories of these
men and a casual study of their financial
abilities will convince one that any busi
ness entrusted to the Bank of the ^diver
sity will be attended to with promptness,
safety, and efficiency.
No bank in Georgia is in better finan
cial condition, nor can it be said that any
bank hi our State is better officered.
A long career of usefulness, prosperity, •
aud progressiveness is ahead of the Bank
of the University, and it will fulfill the
fondest dreams of its moat ardent admir-
Tne Jackson and Burke Company 1
That is the name of one of the livest and
most progressive firms in the city.
Their object in business is to supply the
city and snrrronnding section with books,
stationery, art specialties, blank books,
novelties, and things of that sort.
And it goes without saying that they an
accomplishing their object in the most ap
proved style.
The company has been in business sioc<
August 1, 1890, and Mr. N. F. Jackson is
President and Treasurer, while Mr. T. B.
Wootten is manager. Both gentlemen are
good business men, thoroughly progressive
in their ideas, and always manage to keep
abreast of the times in bringing to lb<
Classic City the very latest novelties in
their lines of stock.
How well this company has succeeded
in its short existence can best be told by a
visit to their store ou Broad street. Tber
one will find one of the completest stocks
of goods ever put upon the Athens market,
and clever and obliging salesmen ready to
attend to all business.
In the line of school books tbe company
has made advancing strides, and places
them on sale at the cheapest rates A
nice stock of literary works is also carried,
and tbe order department for expeosiv 6
works is kept busy all the time.
A specialty is made of fine stationery,
and the stock in this department challenge*
tbe admiration of all who see it.
The magazines are all kept on sale a
this store, and they are in heavy demand
among tbe reading public.
The Job Printing office, run in connec
tion with the establishment, Mr. F. A.
Williams, manager, is one of the enter
prising features.
In tbe wholesale line, many merchants
outside of Athens are supplied with goods,
but'-the retail department is made a spe
cialty..
The stock of athletic a and sporting goods
is one that convinces the investigating
mind that the Jackson and Bnrke Compa
ny are sparing no efforts to give every
bargain possible to their patrons.
Tbe attention of tbe business men is
called to the mammoth stuck of blank
books, ledgers, office supplies, etc., now
being carried by the Jackson and Burke
Company. They are ready to sell these
goods at as cheap figures as ever sold In
Athens, and are prepared to make splendid
offerings to the trade in this direction.
In art specialties, the Jackson and Burke
Company is not lagging behind. It is a
leader in this direction, and . has ordered
out for the Christmas trade the most beau
tiful stock ever brought to Athens. Mou
choir cases, glove cases, card cases, book
lets, albums, celluloid novelties, German
Invitations, and a score or more unique
and novel lines of goods will be seen at
their store for the Christmas trade. Near,
ly all these goods are furnished by Raph
ael, Tack & Co., importers of art special
ties.
Visitors to Athens are cordially
invited to call around at the store of tbe
J ackson and Burke Company, where they
will be handsomely treated and shown
through the many attractive lines ol
goods.
This company is progressing rapidly.
Since its establishment in Athens, its
growth in business has been phenomenal,
and everything is bright and rosy la its
future.
Business, push and enterprise cannot be
downed and the Jackson and Barke Com
pany possesses plenty of that article.
