Despite his previous protestations to
the contrary. Wolberg at first decided to
contest the suit, and even went so far as
to enter his appearance by attorney. but
he later dropped the action and decided
to allow the government to take its

That Wolberg realizes his unique posi-

we make special mention of the
large legal reserve held by the
Clay City National Bank, and
shown in the statement above re-
ferred to.
PERSONNEL OF THE MANAGEMENT.
The Bank is managed by the
following gentlemen, who con-
stitute the Officials and Direc-
tory:
Frank B. Russell, President,
Jas. B. Hall, Vice. President,
A. T. Whit, Cashier,
Chas. Scott,
Jno. ID. Atkinson.
All of whom are well known to
the people of this section. All
are stockholders, and men of ex-
perIence and business ability,
who have been successful in their
respective lines of business, and
whose individual worth, repre-
sents in the aggregate, cOnsidera-
bly, more than the capital stock
and individual deposits of the
bank they manage.
Mr.. Frank b. Russell, who is
now President of the Bank, and
Mr.. Scott, have been stOckhOld-
ers in the bank since its organi-
zation. The latter was its first
President, and has been almost
continuously connected as a Di-
rector. On this account, both
take a personal and individual
pride in the welfare of the bank
and It's success.
Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Atkinson,
have each been interested as
stockholders and business patrons
of the bank for a great many
years. The latter has been its
Attorney for some twelve years !;
and we note in this connection,
that he has had but little to do
in the way of litigation on behalf
of the bank in our local courts,
which speaks well for the paying
qualities of our local citizens.

methods fully warrant the best
that can be said of him.
Mr.. A. T. Whit, Cashier, IS
likely the youngest man connect
ed. He is a large stOckhoiler,
well liked personally and in
business way by all who come in
contact with him. The fact that
he is large stakeholder, shows
his faith IN the ultimate success
of the institution. HIS whole
time and energy are devoted to
its welfare and upbnilding.

has in the past, had some losses:
but has successfully passed
through two severe panics, that
of 1893, and that of 1907, but has
come out unharmed and without
the depositors, at any time being
in danger of losing one cent or
becoming entansled, as has been
the case with many other institn.
tions less carefully managed and
safe-guarded. In spite of the DIFF
liculties it has encountered. it
has paid its stockholders more
than $50, 900. 90 in dividends since
its organization, and under the
present careful, conservative and
progressive management, we do
not hesitate to predict continued
and increased success in the fu-
ture.
We are glad Of an opportunity
to call the attention of our read
ers and the business public to
the Clay City National Bank and
its efficient management, and to
commend it to all as a most sub
stantial institution in whose fu-
ture success we have unqualified
faith.

CLAY CITY
NATIONAL BANK

We had occasion to publish in
q recent issue, a copy of the
statement of the Clay City Ma
tiOnal Bank, as of March 7th,
1911, made at the instance of the
Comptroller of the Currency.
We intended at the time to
make some comments on same,
but the lack of time and space
prevented. AS we have often
times said, the Clay City Times
is here to help the town, the
County, the State and itself; and
in doing so, it is our pleasure to
refer to this institution and its
able and progressive manage
ment, as one of the staid and
useful assets of the people and
the town.
This institution was organized
in 1889, under a charter granted
by the United States Govern
ment, as provided for in the Ma
tional Bank Act. At that time,
banking institutions IN the noun
tain sections of the State of Ken
lucky were scarce, especially Ma
tiOnal Banks. If our informa-
tion serves us correctly, there
were between eleven and twelve
thousand National and State
Banks i'm the United States. The
minimum capital of National
Bank at that time, was $50, 900 90.
Since then, however, amend
ments have been adopted to the
National Bank Law, permitting
Nationals l.lBanks;to organiztAsyith
$25, 600. 90 capital, which has re.
suited in a large increase of the
organization of Nation Il Banks !;
aud today, 1t is safe to say, that
there are from twenty-One to
twenty-five thousand State and
Private Banks in the United
States, with an aggregate capital
around $4,000, 900, 900. 90 and an
aggregate deposit of $13, 900, ,OOO,-
WO.OO, exclusive of Savings
Banks.

ers; official examinations are
made of every National Bank at
least twice year, and a report
of their condition is made to the
Comptroller of the Currency. Be.
sides this, the Comptroller calls
tor five statements during the
year,at dates previously unknown
to the Bank. These statements
are condensed and published for
information of the public. These
personal examinations involve
the counting of cash on hand,
listing and examining the notes,
bills receivable and other assets,
recOnciling its accounts with 9TH
er ba nks, examining the stock
ledger and the personal bonds of
the officers of the institution {;

ed on by the Comptroller, for an
accounting and reckoning. The
National Laws fix severe renal-
ties for violation of the law, for
false entries, and for the sup
preston of facts in connection
with the books and records of the
Institution. = In aaditi0n1to the
rigid requirements and careful
scrutiny of the Federal Govern
ment, the depOsit0rs are also pro.
tected by the double liability of
the stockholders of a National
Bank.
COMMERCIAL USEFULNESS.
In the outset, it was our pur.
pose to call attention of our read
ers and the citizens of this sec
tion, to the importance of "a good
banking institution in our midst.

business and financial patronage
of every individual in this Sec
ton. 1t has been the means of
assisting a number of business
people who had ability, good in.
tention, and little means; and
but for being personal in our ref
erence, we could name more than
one substantial and prosperous
business man whose first finan-

THEIR PUBLISHED STATEMENT.
With reference to the state
ment above referred to, we note
that their individual deposits
subject to check, amounted to
$S7, ,275.S1. This money repre-.
sehts the business and active ac-
counts Of individuals and firms
doing business with the bank,
and in many cases, the savings of
working people and farmers,
WHO, sins seekiEg a safe place for
their savings, have chosen this
bank as their depository. In
looking over their assets, to as
certain in what way they are u.s.
ing and investing these funds, we
note that they have on hand
cash, and deposited IN other
banks, which is subject to their
sight draft, and in the hands of
the United States Treas
ury, $30, 14S. 81
Also an investment in

Making a total of $63, ,566. 80
Under the National Banking
Act, all National Banks outside
of large cities, are required to
keep cash on hand and with their
designated reserve agents, 15%
of their total deposits, which is
deemed necessary for the usual
of their business, and
for the protection of their active
accounts. Such per cent. of re-
serve is considered safe and suf- |
but we note that this in
has taken the double
precaution of carrying cash re-
serve of about 4O%, rot includ-
ing their bonds, which is a guar
antee of safety to the depositor,
that he may get his money any
time it is called for, and reflects
credit on the management of IN
institution, and shows their due
regard for the safety and pro-
of their depositors. We
note that the 18S National Banks
in the State of Kentucky outside
Of Louisville, at the close Of bus
iness on March 9TH last, had an
average legal reserve of only
10. $50. Az against this average,
