Business/Industry Jack A. Bradford Buster Willis So. National Nearing $1 Billion Stockholders in Southern Na tional Corporation, the one bank holding company for the Southern National Bank of North Carolina, were told that SNB is well on its way to becoming a billion dollar bank by 1984 at the annual stockholder's meeting held here to day. According to President Joseph E. Sandlin, Southern National Bank took great strides toward that goal in 1982 when gross in come exceeded $100 million, assets increased more than 30<7o and pro fits before security gains were up 23.3%. Each of these were new highs for the bank's history. "Not only have we reached new peaks in assets and earnings," said Sandlin, "but special attention has been given to the loan and invest ment portfolios and the subsidiary operations." In 1982, Southern National Bank merged with the Forsyth Bank and Trust Company of Winston-Salem and forged new in ternal growth which accounted for an increase in total resources of nearly $200 million. New branches were opened in Garner, Fayetteville and Whiteville in 1982 and plans are set for others in Raleigh and Winston-Salem in 1983. Seventeen new automatic teller machines were installed last year. Customer services by Southern National also grew in 1982. The "CS&L III" account offered money market rates with a $2,500 minimum balance in December. In recent days, Southern Na tional Corporation has purchased the mortgage business of the old Bank of North Carolina. This in creases the amount of loan servic ing to more than $200 million for Southern National Mortgage Cor poration. Also, Southern National and the Southern Bank and Trust of Greenville, South Carolina have just formed the Southern Interna tional Corporation to serve domestic customers with foreign banking needs. This subsidiary is based in Charlotte, according to Sandlin. In other stockholder meeting ac tions, 20 incumbent directors were re-elected to serve the corporation. ? ? ?
