LOAN VOLUME OF
FIRST NATIONAL
SHOWS INCREASE
T lie Nyssa branch o f First Na
tional bank of Portland shows de
posits o f $4,073,273 and loans of
$1,244,503 in the April 12 report,
which answers the quarterly call
of the comptroller o i currency, ac
cording to G. J. Mitchell, manager.
Loan volume has Increased since
the report at the end o f 1947. A
light decrease in deposits during
the same period reflects the gen-
: al
condition o f
other banks
throughout the state and the na
tion, and is a frequent seasonal
characteristic because o f income
tax payments, M itchell said.
First National bank of Portland,
htanches and affiliates, reported
total deposits o f $592,246,614 and
.oans c f $119,170,140 to again lead
all Oregon banks in both depart
ments.
“ Increase in loans indicates more
money at work in Nyssa and in
Oregon," Mitchell declared. “ Bank
.redit is the lubricant- that makes
cur economics wheels go round.
Its expansion reflects local and
state gains in population and in
dustrial development which are
earning national attention."
