SHOWS STRENGTH
OF INSTITUTION
First National Expresses
Appreciation of Confi
dence Shown in It by
Community.
Further evidence of the strength
anil soundness of the First Nntionul
bank of Im Grande, reorganized sev
erul months ago, appeared today with
the announcement that $100,000 hi
cash would be available at the hunk
Nov. 15 to retire class "A" time cer
tificates or deposit.
These certificates, representing 20
per cent of the deposits of $100 or
more in the bank at the time of re
organization, are not due until Dec.
16 this year, but the bank finds it
self In such an excellent cash position
that it can release this money a
month earlier.
The addition of S100.000 In cosh
to the channels of trade in the La
Grande community Is expected to be
reflected In a notable increase In
payment of obligations, new pur
chases and generally, a marked up
lift in business transactions. About
1600 people hold these time certifi
cates, and will share in the release
of the large sum.
With the payment of the $100,000
cash Nov. 16, approximately .50 per
.vent-of the deposits hi the bank less
than a year ago when closing was
necessary have been paid. Twenty
per cent of deposits of 100 or more
was paid when the bank re-opened
last spring, and at the same time all
deposits of less thon $100 were made
immediately available. The addition
al 20 per cent payments next month
will bring them to the 60 per cent
mark. 4
The bank's cash position is much
stronger than Its officers had expect
ed, according to Davltf I. Stoddard
president, and it Is for this reason
that the bank felt It should make
the money available a month sooner
than It had originally expected to do.
Mr. Stoddard, In making the an
nouncement, spoke with appreciation
on behalf of the bank's officers for
the confidence the public has shown
the Institution since its re-opening,
which has made possible the encour
aging gains and further strengthened
Its position.
