Farewell, Thanks to Readers, Others

Dear Readers:
As we announced earlier (September
26 Weekly Newsletter and October
Northwestern B anker), I have sold
our company to Paul Blackburn, owner
and publisher of Commercial West
magazine of Minneapolis. He is combin
ing the two publications under the name
of N orthwestern F inancial R eview ,
effective with the first issue under that
name on November 5. Details are in
those earlier stories.
This issue you are reading will be the
last Weekly Newsletter we will publish
and it completes to the day my 43rd year
with the Northwestern B anker. A s we
put this last issue to bed, it is most ap
propriate to say “Thank You” to three
groups of people—you, our loyal readers,
for whom all of our more than 2,000
issues were created; our loyal, dedicated
staff, and two special suppliers who contributed greatly to the high quality look
of our publications.
When I started work here in 1945, I
was impressed with how many times
bankers would tell me their bank, or
their personal banking families, had
been reading our magazine almost since
it started in 1894. Now, after 43 years, I
continue to be impressed with the conti
nuing number of bankers who tell me
they are the second and third generations in their families who have been
reading the magazine in their homes.
It is this kind of loyal readership that
has made the N orthwestern B anker
successful, so we are grateful to all of
you for your continued readership. In
addition, you have provided us con
sistently with news about your banks

which we have been happy to publish in
your own state news section. This per
sonalized news from your banks is the
heartbeat of our total news coverage.
We invite you to continue sending your
news to our office as you have been do
ing, since our Des Moines editorial office
will continue active here.
“No man is an island“ is a book and
movie title that is proved daily in the
business world and ours is no exception.
Throughout the years we have been
blessed with outstanding talented peo
ple carrying out our editorial, advertis
ing and staff duties. Those with us at
the tim e of this sale and merger include
Robert Cronin, my associate publisher
and principal salesman for the past three
and one-half years; Diane Nelson, asso
ciate editor the past three and one-half
years; Elizabeth Evans, a more recent
employee who is transferring to the Min
neapolis office, and Debra Hibbert, my
reliable bookkeeper and payroll ac
countant for the past eight or ten years,
who continues to work for us as an out
side contractor.
Bob Cronin, 28, will remain in the Des
Moines office and will head up the sales
force for the new owner. I am proud of
the way Bob has developed his personal
and marketing skills, and I am very ap
preciative of the generous reception all
of you have given him from the very
start just because he was a represen
tative of the N orthwestern B anker.
Bob and his wife, Diane, expect their
first child in late November and we wish
them well in their family life, as well as
continued success for Bob in his new
duties.

Diane Nelson, 32, will continue in this
office as associate editor. Diane’s skills
as an editor and creative writer reflect
the high marks she received throughout
her education that led to her teaching
degree in English. She is our resident
grammarian and we are glad to have her
professional talents and happy dispo
sition continue with the company.
Beth Evans, 22, has been with us only
three months, but long enough for us to
know she is an inquisitive dynamo an
xious to work hard and intelligently to
show she can rise in the business world.
Every office should have a happy Beth
in its midst!
We would also like to thank publicly
two suppliers who have contributed so
much behind-the-scenes to the success
of our business. We are especially proud
of our several years relationship with
Kimberley Press, which prints all of our
publications—the magazine, newsletter
and annual bank directories. This com
pany was started in our back room many
years ago with a small duplicating press
to print our Weekly Newsletter. One
thing led to another and it ballooned into
a full-fledged printing subsidiary. We
sold it to Mike Freeland about ten years
ago and he built it to an even higher
level of sales. Three and one-half years
ago, Mark Kimberley purchased the
company, eventually moving it into the
beautiful new quarters where it now
operates, and has doubled the size of the
firm.
Mark has excellent credentials from
his years of experience in the printing
and graphics; but, in addition to his per
sonal competence in the professional
areas of his business, he has also dis
played a keen sense of business manage
ment and leadership for his staff. He has

assembled an array of printing presses
and skilled pressmen to operate them
that are second to none in our city. All of
his support staff people are equally com
petent and dedicated in their work. This
kind of esprit de corps stem s from the
top and we would like to take this oppor
tunity to salute our good friend, Mark
Kimberley, for his accomplishment in
building Kimberley Press to its accep
tance as a first-class printing company
for Iowa. Evidence of that accolade is
seen in the high quality of printing his
staff has given us consistently in each
issue of the N orthwestern B anker.
Further testim ony are the Awards of
Excellence presented by his peers and
that now adorn the company’s reception
area walls.
Two of Mark’s staff people deserve
special mention here because they were
hired by the N orthwestern B anker
when our small printing effort was in its
infancy. Denny Reynolds, who now pre
pares the multi-page negative layouts
for conversion to printing press plates,
became our first printing employee in
July, 1970. He was our full staff for two

years arid we relied greatly on him so we
salute Denny now as he completes 18
years with the continuing company.
The other early employee is a young
man named Greg Chelleen, who started
as an apprentice in May, 1978, and soon
displayed a native talent for the printing
business. A t Kimberley’s, he was selec
ted by Mark to be the first presman to
operate the new six-color press when it
was installed two years ago. The fourcolor work he has produced for our
readers is a work of art. We're especially
proud of Greg because he was recently
selected by Mark for promotion to the
very responsible position of production
manager for the entire plant.
One other supplier deserving a special
vote of thanks as we close out our
business is Jim Belisle, founder, owner
and president of Valley Papers, Inc. In
addition to being a personal friend for
many years, Jim never missed a dead
line, and always had the necessary paper
stock in place well ahead of press time.
It’s his kind of service that has made
Valley Papers one of the best known
suppliers in central Iowa, amidst a bevy
