COMBINED
To Keep Down Their
Expenses.
Two Financial institutions We're
Merged Friday.

An important financial combination
was agreed TO Friday between The
Indemnity Savings e Loan Co.. of
Cleyclnnd and the The United States
Building a Loan Co., Of Akron, the
contract providing for the consolida-
ton Of the two companies, under the
name Of the former. This contract In
subject TO the approval OF the stock
holders Of the United states Company,
OF which there is little doubt, as II
already had the unanimous endorse
ment Of the officers and directors and
the approval Of many influential
stockholders.
The plan provides that the stock
holders Of the United States Co. will
receive stock in the Indemnity at par,
the latter company assuming its de-
posits and acquiring all its assets. The
Akron Savings Bank Co. has been &C.
lected as the transfer agent.
The assets Of the Indemnity Saw
ings &c Loan Co. are over 81, 100000.
and those Of the United States Co. are
over $500, 200 so that the consolidated
company will be practically $1,000
0G0 corporation, and one Of the larg-
est Of its kind in the country. The
Indemnity VIII maintain an office in
Akron for the accommodation of local
business.
The main object of the consolidation
is economy in administration. 1t will
cost but very little more to manage
the two companies together than II
did each one separately. The saving
in expense of administration will be
about $4,000 a year.
