JOINING THEIR FORCES.
The SiSSOn-CroCker Bank Con-
CludeS to Retire From
Business.
1t VIII Be Absorbed by the Croker
WoolWorth Bank of San
Francisco.

The bank of Sisson, Croker & Co. will
consolidate it's business and interests with
the Crocker- Woolworth Bank July l. Gen
orally transactions of this magnitude Gre
ate somewhat of stir in the financial
world, though this deal was practically
unnoticed by the bankers, and even the
depositors seemed to care very little about
it. Probably one reason for the quietness
with which this was received by the bank
ers is that it has been talked about among
themselves for several days, and conse-
quently the communication of the deal
did not surprise them.
The bank of Sisson, Croker & Co. was
organized April %, 1892. The capital
stock was placed at 100000, of which
5000 900 was subscribed and 500, 900 paid
in. The number OF shares of stock issued
was 1000, and $50 was paid on each share.
The directors hold of this amount 1872
shares as follows: W. W. Vanarsdale 495,
J. M. Haven so, J. FL. Strobridge 100, D. NJ.
Earl SO, J. H. Sisson 80, F. 81. Greene so
and George w. Scott 436.
The bank has been doing fair business,
though the general impression prevails
that If it could have drawn larger list of
depositors to its counters the consolida-
ton would not have taken place. The
bank officials say that other and more i'm
portant business demanded their time and
attention, and for that reason they had de-
termined to retire from banking. The fol-
lowing letter was sent to all customers
yesterday:
Gentlemen: Arrangements have been made to
consolidate the business interests of the Bank
of Sisson, Croker & Co. with the Croker
Woolworth National Bank, at corner Market
and Post streets, Croker building, on July l.
1895. where George w. Scott president, and c.
+. Baker, assistant cashier, of the frst-named
bank can be found during business hours, and
will be pleased to welcome their friends and
patrons.
Any checks that have been drawn. not yet
presented, or that may be drawn on the Bank
will be cleared through the Clearing house by
the Crocker-Woolworth National Bank.
We hope you can find it convenient to con-
tinue your business relations, that have ALWAYS
been SO pleasant and satisfactory with us here
with the Crocker-W oolworth National Bank
Please call as soon as possible on or after July
i and make proper transfer.
