RIBA BRINGS SWAG OF MONEY FROM EAST Is Able He Says to Pay Off All of His Depositors Now-There Was Some Slight Run on That Bank When the First National Closed. Gus Riba, the capitalist and financier behind the Riba State Bank, returned last Thursday morning a week ago from the Twin Cities, where he went to arrange for a little money to carry on the spring business, with a suit case full of the long green, having been able to connect up where the First National boys fell down. When the First National put up the death sign, Gus had piles of the long green stacked up to liquidate the run which took place over there immediately. Riba says that he can pay off everyone of his deposits and still have money left. He says that all you need to get money in St. Paul is plenty of good security. Gus says that the Riba State Bank will grow up with the country and that it may expand in the years to come as the country requires but not before. Gus says there is not much money nowdays in the banking business but what there is, is there to stay and that it is nice to have a bank in town in case a person should like to cash a cream check. so he'll just keep his open for a while.
