Tom Page on big banks

Emprise Bank president Tom Page is a beacon of humor and information in his industry.

And Page, who’s not shy about dropping a little wit into his remarks, struck again Thursday afternoon.

A questioner at a Martin Pringle forum asked Page about the impact that huge first-quarter profits by national banks would have on community banks in Wichita.

“Profit is an opinion,” Page opined. “Cash is fact.”

Seven words that speak very loudly, I think.
