Black banks get
$700,000 deposit
from Honeywell
Honeywell Inc. announced
today it bas deposited a to­
tal of $700.000 in 10 black-
owned banks in eight major
cities in the United States.
The cities are Chicago,
(2) Detroit. Houston, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, New
York, Seattle and Washing­
ton. DC. (2).
Stephen F Keating, pres­
ident of Honeywell, said the
company took the step to
help support the black-owned
banks in t heir investment
programs aimed at building
the strength of minority
business.
Keating said money in
time deposits of the t y p e
made by Honeywell gets
re-invested as many as five
times through normal bank­
ing practices which means
a total investment impact in
the communities involved of
a possible $3.5 million.
Said K e ating, “Honey­
well’s program of support­
ing black-owned banks and
other minority enterprises
will help them take their
rightful place in the main-
steam of American business.
This, we feel, is a positive
way to help the individuals
Involved and the communities
in which they live and
work.”
Honeywell identified the
oanks as:
