WHEN WE BEGAN TO BANK.

The earliest use of the term bank
i'm the American colonies was to des-
ignate an issue of paper money. AL
the banks mentioned in colonial his
tory were loan banks. TIE first bank
of the United States was chartered
by an act of congress on Feb. p. 1871
The authorized capital was s10,000.000
of which congress took $4,000. 900. Th'
bank was located in Philadelphia
with branches i'm Boston, New York
Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and
Savannah. Books for subscription to
the stock were opened July 4 of the
same year, and before night more
stock had been subscribed than could
legally be issued. In four days az
terward the value of the stock hac
doubled.
The bank commenced business in the
latter part Of December in Carpenters
hall. the hall wherein met The FIRST
continental congress, and proved, as
was anticipated, most important aux
Hilary of the United States treasury.
In 1897 the bank removed to its own
building, at Third and Chestnut streets
Thomas Willing was the first president
of this bank.
The Bank of the United States con-
tnued its operations until the ex-
piration of its charter. March 4, 1911.
Congress failed TO renew its charter
i'm spite of the fact that Albert Gal
latin. secretary of the treasury, was
able to show them that the affair
had been wisely and skillfully man
aged"
The reason for the refusal of tn,
charter was due to the influence of the
state banks on congress. whose mum.
Der by this time had increased tc
nearly 90. These state banks furnish
ed the government with the greater
part OF its money to carry on the wa
