This institution began business in 1895 with a] paid-in capital stock of $50,000.00 and it at once began to take its place In the financing of Important business enterprises. On August 22. 1910, the capitol stock was increased to $100,000 and its the only bank capital Btock over $50,000. The deposit* of this bank up to the time of publishing its quarterly statement in April .1911 were $179,856.00; yesterday's statement showed $268,408 05. This is an increase over 1911 of $88,552.05. These statements shownot only a rapid growth of the bank but they are an index to the growth and developnient of the city and county. What better indication of progress can be presented than the financial showing of the banks. Since its organfxation the First National has paid its y.tockholdera $85,600.00 in dividends and now- has a surplus of $50,000.44 with $5,487 in undivided profits.
