We explained that this is primarily a
protection tu our customers. Should a bank
by some unusual circtmstance suffer a loss
the undivided profits and surplus would first
be applied to cover the loss. If this were
not sufficient the Capital Stock fund would
next be applied and should more be neces
sary the stockholders would each be requir
ed to contribute an amount equal to the par
value of the shares of stock he m ight hold.
The State Examiners make due investigation
to see that each stockholder is able to pieet
this double liability.
From this it will be seen th at there is a boiler of $66,
000. standing between oar depositors and any chance of loss,
which amount any one will admit is many times greater than
necessary. This is onlv in line, however, with our policy of
