     Mr. Anderson first became identified with the bank in 1897.  He is
a native of Logan having been born here on September 24, 1864. 
During his boyhood days he worked on his father's farm.  In October,
1888 he was employed by the ZCMI working in the wholesale packing
and shipping departments.  In the spring of 1890 he homesteaded a
160 acres of land at Weston, Idaho.
     Later, in the spring of 1892 he was chosen manager of the grocery
department of the ZCMI. It was in 1896 that he entered business for
himself.  In this venture he proved himself to be a successful business
man and extended his acquaintance to all parts of the valley.
     On January 10, 1902 he was invited and accepted a position as
director of the First National Bank.  Later he was elected as
vice-president of the institution.
     John H. Anderson was elected mayor of Logan, November 2, 1909. 
At the stockholders meeting in January, 1917, he was elected president
of the bank and has served to the present time.  During the time he has
served as bank president, he has also been chairman of the executive
board.  Through his superior ability as an executive, the First National
Bank has successfully weathered three serious depressions.
     Ever since Mr. Anderson became affiliated with the bank it has
continued to grow, becoming stronger year after year until today it is
one of the leading banks in the west.  The people of this community
have implicit confidence in the ability and integrity of both Mr.
Anderson and Mr. Sonne, together with the other officers of the
institution.
