OFFICULMARE RECEIVED BY BANK The Transylvania Trust company Wednesday received from the Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corporation At Washington the official signs which will hang at all receiving win dows as visible evidknc«( that tK»i depositors of iftis institution are in sured. The Trahsylvania Trust company is one of more than 14,000 licensed banks in the country which are re ceiving these signs. Insured banks are able to offer protection to their depositors up to $6,000. Statistical sudies have shown that this maximum fully protects more than 97 per cent of all the depositors ir. insured banks. A statement by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation follows: “The purpose of the signs is to let depositors know which banks are insured. Heretofore, although 90 per cent of the licensed banks are insured, depositors have had no easy means of identifying them, "If, by any unforseen circumstance an insured bank should suspend, the Insurance Corporation would begin paying off the depositors just as soon as a receiver was appointed for the closed institution. The depositors would receive their money in a few days instead of waiting months or years as was the case in the former method of liquidation. This is not only a benefit to the depositors, but it saves the community from a ter rific economic and social blow. When the. depositors receive their insured accounts they assign their claims to the Insurance Corporation. There after liquidation proceeds on a busi- J ness-like basis with the maximum ! chance of the Corporation and other creditors being paid in full."
