A deal was closed to-day whereby the
Railway Postal Clerks Investment AS
sociation's assets are combined with
those of the Trust Company of the
South, which will convert the business
of the association into trust company
business as fast as possible.
Capital of the association is $212,000-
and it has a surplus Of $4,000. 1t has
been organized about twelve years.
Started with the idea of accommodate
ing clerks in the railway mail service
with loans, the business kept develop
ing until this feature was turned over
to another corporation, and loans on
real estate became the principal means
of operation.
Recently the association financed the
American Bakeries Company, which
has entered the Atlanta field after sue
cessful careers in other cities. This
proved such big and profitable ven
ture that it became necessary to get q
larger organization. Holdings in the
American Bakeries, therefore. were
disposed of by the association ". NJ

give all his time TO the Bakeries Com
pany.
The trust company has increased fts
capital stock from $4,000 to $500 zoo.
