BIG PROFITS ARE MADE
BY BANKS OF STATE
Georgia Banks in Excellent
Condition.

That Georgia's banks have prosper
de during the past year, there can be
no doubt, upon the figures that the
treasury department has compiled
And that the prosperous condition Of
the state at large is reflected unerring-
ly by the condition of the banks, there
equally can be no doubt.
Governor Brown recently asked the
state treasury for information about
banks. The department prepared a
card which it sent to all the banks in
Georgia, asking them to reply to ques-
tions thereon.
Of the 500 and more state banks in
Georgia 33S responded to this request.
The compilation of these figures
shows the paid-in capital of those
banks to be S15,340, ,058; their surplus
on January 1, $6,5OS,121; and their net
profits for the year 1909, $2,335 ,521. .43.
That amounts to more than 2-3 per
cent profit on capital, or Is 1-2 per
cent profit On capital for 1909 bust
ness.
There are now more than 500 state
banks in operation in Georgia. Only
4S7 were shown in 1909. The others
have been chartered since January l.
