J. L. Bell's Retirement
Few men have given more generously or more graciously of their time to public service than J. L. Bell who, after a very active business career, retires from the staff of the First National Bank. He holds a high place in the confidence of the community and probably was called upon many times to do more than his share in community work. He seldom said no and what jobs he accepted he always did well.
Mr. Bell has a wide acquaintance in the state. His knowledge of conditions in this section is wide and his work as a banker closely allied him with development in the Missouri Slope section.
Entering the bank as a boy, he started as messenger and ran the gamut of posts before reaching a high executive position. Many will regret his decision to retire from an institution for which he worked so arduously.
In state banking circles, he was a leader, having held many posts of honor in the North Dakota Bankers association. In the work of the service clubs, churches and Masonic work Mr. Bell served long and well.
Whatever new field Mr. Bell enters he will carry with him the best wishes of a host of friends in Burleigh and throughout the state.
