CAPITAL OF UNION
TRUST TO BE INCREASED

The directors OF the Union Trust
Co. have decided to recommend TO
the stockholders that the capital OF
the company should be increased from
100000 TO $1,000,000 and special
meeting has been called for Feb. s
FOR the ratification of the plan.
The new stock will be offered to the
stockholders at par, 800, which gives
them a nice profit in view OF the fact
that the stock is quoted at 1853 on tho
Detroit exchange. II is expected that
waivers Will be secured on about 80
per cent OF the new issue, and the
stock represented by these waivers
will be offered to investors At $3.50.
The increase I'm capitalization has
been made necessary by the growth
OF the business OF the company. IL is
stated that one factor In the deter
mination TO make the increase was
the requirement by the New York
Stock exchange that companies which
act az trustee for securities listed on
that marekt must have capital OF at
least $1,000,000. The Union Trust
co. has been expanding rapidly with.
in recent years, and Is expected 10
become more of y factor In corpora

Much OF the success OF the institu.
