CITY BANKS
ENDORSE The
MERGER PLAN
Combined Institutions to be
KnOwn as Wilmington Trust
Co. With Million Capital
CONSOLIDATION NOW
UP TO STOCKHOLDERS

Directors Of the First National
Bank and of the National Bank of VIII
mington and Brandywine met this
morning at their banking houses and
considered the proposition for the
consolidation Of those two banks with
the. Wilmington Trust Company,
which was set forth in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL yesterday. The COM
bined consolidated bank is to have
capital at the outset of one million
dollars, with a principal banking
house at the Wilmington Trust Com
pany's institution and a branch bank
probably where the Wilmington and
Brandywine Bank now is. The conso-
lidated banks will be known as the
Wilmington Trust Company.
After the meetings of the directors
of the First National and the Whining
ton and Brandywine Bank the state
ment was made by the officials that
the boards of both institutions had
unanimously endorsed the consolida-
ton plan and had voted TO submit it
TO the stockholders of both institu-
tions for their action. The directors OF
the Wilmington Trust Company al
ready have adopted the consolidation
plan, it really emanating from them.
Should the stockholders of the
hanks approve of the merger there. is
not much doubt but that the consoli-
dation win be effected and Whining
ton will he given a bank. with trust
company connected with it. OF one
million dollars capitalization all un-
1 der one management. It is predicted
that the plan Will be ratified by the
stockholders.
Officials Of the Wilmington Trust,
the First National and the Whining
ton and Brandywine Bank declined 10
make public the detailed plan of con-
oscillation endorsed today by the two
boards of directors, on the ground
that It should first be submitted to the
stockholders of the Institutions let

itching under the skin. It spread fast

got a pair Of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then It spread all over
the left side OF my chest. A fine doc.
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. I cried night and
day. Then decided to try Cuticura,
