First National Sees
Deposits, Earnings
Rise Since January
Upward trends in 1958 in bank
earnings, deposits and consumer
and mortgage loans at First Na
tional bank of Portland were re-
nnrted Tuesday bv C B Stephen
son, president, as the bank paid
an Increased dividend to share
holders for the first time since
April 1, 1954.
"Each week since January,
1!)58. deposits have increased
over the comparative week in
1957." Stephenson reported. 'The
public's response to the banK s
aseressive policies in the field
of consumer and home mortgage
loans have brought greatly in
creased activity in these import
ant fields." he added.
These factors, which have re
sulted in a satisfactory outlook
for First Nationals operating
profits for 1958, were an import
ant consideration in announcing
the increased dividend, Stephen
son said.
The bank will pay a dividend
of $110 per share for the first
half of 1958 to its 3414 share
holdersmore than 80 percent
of whom are Oregon residents.
Fiftv-fivp rents will be paid on
April 1 and 55 cents will be paid
again on July 1-
'The decision to pay the ad
ditional 10 per cent dividend is
a significant expression of con
fidence in our state's economy,
coming at a time when the stim
ulus is most needed," the bank
president declared.
Strong faith in the long-range
economy of the state were listed
as another principal point con
sidered by the bank directors in
making their decision.
"Among the indices which we
recognize as harbingers oi an
imnrovpd wonomv is the in
crease in building starts already
evidenced in Multnomah county
and expected in the near future
natlonallv which will, of course,
have a decided effect on the
lumber market an be an aid to
the general economy of Oregon,"
the banker said.
One of the long-range factors
considered by the bank directors
in their consideration ot uregon s
future outlook was the US census
bureau's projected 43 percent in
crease in uregon s popular..
during the next 12 years, Mepn
enson reported.
Stephenson expects Oregon s
economy, which has declined for
the past two years, to ievei uu
and recover as residential and
commercial building begins its
nd the country.
Oregon's economic slump, while
severe in many respects ana db
,rtr,r,ir,c7 narlipr than in other
parts of the nation, should, by
the same token recover more
rapidly than other areas, he said.
Hp believes that as building
activity throughout the country
expands, the demand ior uregon
products, particularly lumber,
may well exceed the past.
