- United States Bank of Grand Junction
- A bank in the town of Grand Junction, Colorado. According to William McHurg Ela, whose father and grandfather Wendell Dennett Ela and Wendell Phillips Ela worked for the bank for many years in the early Twentieth century (as vice president and president, respectfully), the bank was founded by Orson Adams. E.D. Blodgett took over as the owner of the bank of Grand Junction after Orson Adams was arrested for embezzlement. A.A. Milne was also an employee of the bank during that time. Al Look describes him as “tighter than the bark on a tree… to get a nickel out of him you had to squeeze tight.” The bank was presided over by Elbert L. Bacon for many years in the mid-Twentieth century.
