NATIONAL BANKS
In FINE SHAPE
STATEMENTS SHOW PROSPERITY
ASSETS or MORE THAN
$3.50, 1000.

With deposits of three-quarters OF a
million dollars in only two Of the Co
lumbia banks, and with one bank
showing resources OF almost three
quarters of a million IL is easy to see
that general business is getting in
better shape and that the returning
confidence OF the public is the cause
OF more money being placed In circu-
lation and. where it will be of the
most use to the business interests of
the county.
The banks of Columbia have in fact
been making a better and better show
ing with each new statement since
the panic last October. In the state
ment of the Maury National Bank in
today's Herald it will be seen that the
deposits are well in excess of $500, 900,
while the surplus and undivided
profits amount to $33, 7O191, or more
than one-third of the capital stock and
at the same time the bank has never
failed to pay its stock holders a nice
dividend The bank shows loans and
discounts of $4S4, 46S, with cash on
hand of over $164,000.
The statement of the Phoenix Ma
tional Bank also shows healthy growth
and progress, and it is easy to see
that this bank is already one Of the
best financial institutions of the state
with an even greater future before it.
While only three years old this bank
has over $4,000 in surplus and I'M
divided profits. It's legal reserve is
strong and yet it has nearly
S350,000 in loans.
