Charles F. Perkins, cashier of the Pleasant Hill Bank, located in the thriving little community of Pleasant Hill, Ohio, is one of the progressive young citizens of this community. He was born at Ghent, Ky., a son of G. W. and Martha Perkins, and received his education in the public schools of his native place, where he likewise obtained his introduction to the banking business. In 1907 Mr. Perkins came to Pleasant Hill, Ohio, at which time he was made cashier of the bank of Pleasant Hill, a position which he has since retained and in which he has contributed substantially to the success of his institution. Mr. Perkins has built up an excellent reputation as a man of ability, sound judgment and practical conservatism, and has the unqualified confidence of his associates and the patrons of the bank, the latter of whom frequently consult him as to matters of business importance. During the period of the World war, he was commendably active in the work of answering the call of the various war loans. A comparison of the figures showing the bank's quota, and what it subscribed, will give an idea of the services which he rendered at that time. In the first loan, the bank was given no quota, but subscribed $5,500. In the second loan the bank's quota a was $18,300, and subscribed $28,400. In the third loan, the bank's quota was $17,250, and the institution subscribed $54,300.
