Providing the Plans of Mr..
Leeds and Number of Ger
man Citizens Are Success
fully Put Through.
A STRONG FINANCIAL
BACKING is ASSURED
As There Is Now Only One
Trust Company in the City,
The Promoters Think the
Project Feasible.

Announcement was made this morn
ing by r. G. Leeds, that plans were
being formulated for the establish
ment of German-American Trust
company in this city and in case the
organization is effected, the new
banking institution will be located at
S24 Main street.
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton by Mr.. Leeds and a number
of influential German citizens for
some time, but as yet all plans have
not been completed. However, those
interested in the project will have
completed arrangements within a
short time and the more complete de-
tails of the new banking institution
will be announced then.
Considered Good Field.
Richmond is considered by many
as sufficiently large and wealthy for
another trust company. At the pres
ent time the Dickinson Trust COM
pany is the only other institution of
this nature in the city. There are
three financial institutions operating
under the national banking laws.
In the event the organization Of the
proposed German-American Trust COM
pany is effected. it will mean that it
will be backed by some of the strong
est financial interests Of Richmond.
Its capital stock will be very large
and will compare favorably with that
of the strongest trust companies of
the state.
In addition to its financial backing,
the proposed company will include in
its organization men we'll and favor
ably Known in this city and county.
AS yet, however, the proposed organ
iZation in this respect has not been
announced.
Have Good Location.
The probable home for the institu-
tion, S24 Main street, is considered as
very favorable location. Being 10.
Gated in the middle of a square be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets on
Main street, it will be unusual in this
city, as corner sites have always been
selected heretofore by similar organi-
cations. However, in other cities it is
usual for financial institutions to Sc
lect locations in the center of block
as the location of a bank on a corner
has a tendency to deaden the business
life of such corners after banking
hours.
Mr.. Leeds stated this morning that
in the event the organization was car
ried through his building would be re-
modelled. AS yet he did not care to
state how. except that the institution
would be equipped with one of the larg-
est and finest banking rooms in Indi-
ana. The work on the remodeling of
the building will be started in the not
far distant future.
The name of German-American Trust
company has been selected by a large
number of the most influential Ger
man citizens of the city. who are asso-
ciated with Mr.. Leeds in the project.
