Signatories of the Banco de Durango

J. Maximiliano Damm was a German citizen who arrived in Durango in 1850 and became one of the state’s leading entrepreneurs, mainly through his development of the Promontorio silver mine.

His store had issued its own vales.

Angel López Negrete was involved in the Compañía Madera de la Sierra de Durango, S. A., which supplied sleepers to the railroad companies in the first two decades of the 20th century. With his brother Joaquin López Negrete he was associated in several companies like the mining company Angustias Dolores y Anexas in the town of Pozos, Guanajuato, and the coal company La Agujita in Ciudad Porfirio Díaz. Moreover, Ángel was representative in the United States for the Colonia de la Condesa, an important land development company in Mexico City.
