Montgomery Street, financial center of San Francisco. Not a stagecoach to be seen... . not a creaking Spanish oxcart . . . not a bearded miner or gaily dressed ranchero. Yet all these once jostled each other upon this thoroughfare . . . passing to and fro before the first Wells Fargo banking and express office. Today, this oldest bank in the West stands at the head of Montgomery Street... a modern, metropolitan institution, occupied with its share of the city's eleven-billion-dollar yearly banking business. But, as a busy man of affairs may cherish memories of an adventurous youth, so the Bank has preserved many mementos of gold-rush days.
