After moving to Kansas City in 1893, William Kemper had developed wide-ranging business interests including grain trade, retailing, and railroad interests; but first and foremost, he had emerged as one of the town's leading bankers and Democratic power brokers. The versatile Kemper, once a traveling shoe salesman, had learned banking at the side of his father-in-law Rufus Crosby - a Maine merchant who had settled in "Bloody Kansas" in 1855 and later had opened his own private bank in Valley Falls, KS. The merchant had run a "First Class Bank" operated on "strict and true banking rules and regulations". The son now was to run the City Center Bank, the little storefront bank on the southern fringes of the Kansas City business district which had struggled to survive until the Kempers had gained control of it and invited the town to "Grow with a Growing Bank". This book tells the remarkable story of how that little City Center Bank grew into United Missouri Bancshares, Inc., one of the finest banking organizations in the Midwest. It unfolds the three generations of one family committed to banking, who made a name for themselves, and in the process, helped to build a city and a region through personal involvement and leadership.
