capital stock is 81, 000, 900. No new
money has been paid into this bank by
its stockholders beyond the s400, 900
subscribed in 1856, nine years after its
organization as a savings bank with
out capital. Since then, total divi-
dend-payments amounted to 6 $780,
600, making a total net profit on the
$400, 900 paid-up in 1856, of $780,
900, being 1 1857. so on every 500
then subscribed. The officials, direc-
tors and stockholders OF the Boatmen's
Bank are to be congratulated on such
splendid results. They have every
reason to be proud of such a record,
and to look hopefully into the future.
The city Of St. Louis has reason to be
proud OF such a bank. The Boatmen's
Bank is the typical best.msnaged and
most solid financial institution of St.
Louis; is, in fact, the exemplar which
all the other great and successful
financial institutions Of this city have
followed Mirror.
