An evidence OF The manner in
which the Union Trust Company
OF Maryland has been steadily grow
ing. is found in the recent action of
the Board OF Directors Ia rising the
dividend basis Of the stock from
10 6 per cent. per annnm. The
Company has always pursued a
policy OF Drogressiveness that has
made il leader among financial in
stitntions Of the state. The presi-
dent Of the institution is George
Blackstone, man Of broad ideas and
sound business Judgment Under
Unsuccessful administration OF pres
ident Blackstone. the company has
built up big surplus and the de-
posit line is larger now than ever
before in history. Like manv other
trust companies it has found that
there is no longer need for a big
capital; the business OF q q trust
company being now confined more
to commercial lines than underwrit-
ing ventures, and recently reduc-
ed its capital stock from 81 600. 900
TO $780, 900. redeemipg the cancelled
stock at $4,000 share, the par value
being 5000 share. The Union
Trust Company is legaldepository
for court and trust funds. and acts
as fiscal agent for cities. states and
corporations ia addition to serving
as trustee for bond issues and other
corporations. The company allows
3 per cent. interest on check &C.
counts, and maintains savings de-
partment which gives even q more
liberal rate. The company also
makes specially of its safe deposit
vaults for the preservation of valu-
ables. The rental of boxes vary &C
cording to size. but the prices are
such as to be within the reach OF
everyone. The Union Trust Com
pany occupies the handsome Offices
on the first floor of the big Union
Trust Building on the northwest
corner of Charles and Fayette
streets, Baltimore. Md, in the very
heart OF the business section. The
Union Trust Building was the first
Office building in the burnt district
to be rebuilt after the great Balti-
more fire in February, 1904. and the
Trust Company was the first to re-
turn to its old site after the confia-
grafton. The Board OF Directors of
this company includes some of the
best known men in Maryland, gen
tlemen whose business judgment is
unquestioned and in whom the pub
lie have implicit confidence.-Mer-
