MERGER OF
THREE BANKS
EFFECTIVE
Stockholders Of First National
and Wilmington 6 Brandy
wine Accept Offer
NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
WILL BE LIQUIDATED

AS more than two-thirds of the
stockholders of the National Bank Of
Wilmington and Brandywine and of
the First National Bank have accep-
ted the offer of the Wilmington Trust
Company to buy their stock outright
or exchange it for cash and Trust
Company stock, the proposed consol-
idation of the two national banks
with the Wilmington Trust Com
pany has become effective. Announce
ment to this effect was made today
by officials of the three institutions
directly concerned in the consolida-
ton.
N Stockholders of the First National
Bank and the National Bank of Will
mington ano Brandywine who have
not accepted the Wilmington Trust
Company's offer have until Monday
next to do so, as the proposition Of
the Trust Company expires with that
day AS the merger was conditioned
upon two-thirds of the stockholders
of each national bank accepting the
offer of the Wilmington Trust Com
pany to acquire their stock at a big
premium, the fact that enough stock
holders have accepted makes the
merger effective.
Those who do not accept the offer
of the Trust Company will receive
an amount for their stock that the
liquidation of each of the national
banks under the plan provided for
by the National Banking Law, will
yield them. This amount, of course,
is problematical at this time.
The consolidated bank will be
known as The Wilmington Trust
Company, but the First National
Bank of the National Bank of Will
mington and Brandywine will con-
I tinue to do business at their present
banking institutions and with the
same personnel of officials as at
present
Sometime in the future a big bank

On Thursday next the stockhold-
ers of the Wilmington Trust Com
pany will meet to act upon the recon
mandafion of fhp hoard Of directors
that the capital stock be increased
from 100000 to $1,0OO,00O, which
will be the capital of the consolidat-

authorized and Wilmington will then

The Evolution of the Shoe

There is absolutely nothing new
in shoe styles, now or for the future.
A queer statement you say, but
nevertheless a true one. Style
consists in shapes of lasts and pat
terms and materials used. When
welt shoes were introduced this was
not considered new style, simply
a new method of making. The
rocker bottoms are not new. They
use to be made years ago, as a
great many persons will remember.
and the present rockers are
very modified in comparison with
those worn a generation or two ago.
Vamps were short twenty-five
years ago and the wave top which
has come and gone inside of three
years was but revival of pattern
popular shortly after the war.
Button shoes had as great run
thirty years ago as they have had
this time, and already the signs
point to the return of lace boots.

The cause of the modern woman's
restlessness is that she is awakening.
She is stetching her arms. and try
ing to rise and take up her work.
Changing ideals, and ideas have
brought about entirely new condi-
tions. Men have stepped into her
home and taken most of her tasks
away from her. In the factory are
manufactured her garments. Her
spinning and weaving and knitting
are done by machinery. The tailor
and dressmaker and milliner and
baker supply her needs and those of
her family. Electricity and gas il
lumine her dwelling, and supply in
visible fuel. Vacuum cleaners spirit
away the dust, and elevators toss
her back and forth to her aerial
dweliing-place. Agriculture and
primitive industries first were taken
from her. and then, most of the bur-
dens of household drudgery. What
shall She d o with herself? She
moves about in her new idleness and
is restless. She shops aimlessly,
and joins clubs. The cure for rest
lessness is for modern woman to con-
serve her strength, marry nationally,
select some suitable labor to keep
her interest in the worlds affairs
busy, and ever-developing. All that
the most rational human beings de-
mand is freedom, love and labor,
which are quite just demands of fate.
Given these, peace and tranquility
will forever abolish the restless wo-
man.-Winifred Harper Cooley in
April Nautilus.
