The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1918-04-05
"T0 ALL WHO LOVE
HONESTY, INDUSTRY AND THRIFT
THIS BUILDING IS DEDICATED

Tho relation of the bank to the
community is that of stabilizing and
fixing it's financial standards and
functions. 1t is also an invariable
index to the thrift and progress OF
its country. AS the bank thrives SO
does it's people. Therefore the Or
derby and well-kept banking house
proclaims it's business environments,
and. the bank which takes pride in
it's home will naturally enlist a
friendly interest in the spirit and
substance of it's enterprise.
The Third National Bank comes
from line of banks, which branch
ed out from the old Bank of Union
City, the first organization here for
the purpose-of doing general bank
ing business.
Mr.. John T. Walker and coterie
of business mon organized the Farm
ers and Merchants Bank in 1890.
The capital stock was 100000, and
after three or four years this bank
went into voluntary liquidation for
the reason that its capital stock was
too large for the volume of banking
done in Union City. The stockhold-
ers of the bank then bought con-
trolling interest in the Commercial
Bank, which succeeded the Bank of
Union City. The capital stock of
the Commercial Bank was $4,000
and $4,000 of this was bought by
the stockholders of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank. The Commercial
then had an uninterrupted career of
success. But few years ago-some
eight or nine years-it was thought
advisable to convert the bank into a
national bank and the Third Nation
al Bank was the name of the new
organization, with the capital stock
increased to 100000.
This bank has enjoyed the great
est confidence of the public and a
degree of business prosperity equal
to the highest anticipations of its
officers and stockholders. No more
than two years ago it's deposits were
lees than 100000. Now the de-
posits range in close proximity to
half a million, and its business is
steadily growing under the direc-
tion of the guiding hand of it's presi-
dent, Mr.. Walker, and its corps of
accommodating officials and direc-
tors.
1t is we'll enough to state that
work on the new building will be-
gin about May /, 1918, and in the
meantime the bank will be temper
arily located in the Marshall build
ing, the former Five and Ten-Cent
Store.
Mr.. j. B. Heavier, of Jackson,
Tenn, designed the building and the
contract for the construction was
awarded to E. G.. Parrish, of Jackson.
We understand that an increase
in the capital stock is contemplated.
Certain it is that the officers and
directors are to be warmly congratu
lated in the success of the institu-
ton.
For the benefit of those who are
non residents we will append the
names of the officers and directors:
Jno. T. Walker, president; d. N.

A preferential coal distribution list
established by the order remains in

istration officials believe that prefer
entail distribution together with con-

goes which had been promised by Dir

fuel problem unless there is a return
of extremely bad weather.
Director General McAdOO tonight

further transportation difficulties from

1875 Army Divisions

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. 14.-(By the AS.

allied front have not brought with
them any relaxation of German vigil

continues on the front line positions,

Various authorities make widely diff
ferent estimates of the number of Ger

be brought into the line on this front,
should the Germans decide to engage
in battle on large and decisive scale
The exact total of the German forces
in the front line and in the immeriate
reserve is known to a unit.
More Than 1000, 900 Men.
One hundred and twelve divisions

Possibly several additional divisions
have reached various points behind
the lines, but the fact has not been es-
tablished with certainty. At any rate,
it is agreed by authorities here: that
the greatest possible number the Ger

Improvement in Transportation
Conditions Reflected in the s.

Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. Improvement
in the railroad situation east of Chi

Although the liberal arrivals made
the corn market sag at the outset,
bears appeared to be afraid to press
the sellingf. Offerings were absorbed
so readily that it was evident a quick
outlet was being relied upon for any
surplus stock.
In this connection, the fact was
pointed out that all but. four roads to
the east from Chicago were now &C
cepting freight without limit. A fur
ther bullish influence was the circum-
stance that resolution introduced in
the senate favored an increase of the
government guaranteed price of wheat.

posed increase, which was sponsored

Brisk demand from shippers lifted
the oats market after initial declines.
Sellers were scarce, owing to aser-
lions that carriers would discriminate
against oats and would handle as long

reports that further government con-
tracts would be placed in March.

LEADING ISSUES
GAIN FEW POINTS
Stock Market Favorably 1nauenc
ed in Early Stages of Days
Trading

New York, Feb 13.-The stock mar
ket seemed to be favorably influenced
in the early stages of today's trading
by events over the holidays. Leading
issues gained one to two points and
a few specialties as much as three to
four in the active first hour.
Later the greater part Of this advan-
tage was cancelled for no apparent
reason other than realizing from
profit taking and the failure of specu-
lative interests to follow up their in
itial operations.
There was moderate accumulation
of buying oredres but this demand
was soon satisfied. The usual diverg-
ence of opinion prevailed respecting
the Significance of President Wilson's
latest address and the bewidering
changes in the Russian situation In
no important quarter was it believ-
ed, however, that peace prospects had
been fastened.
Shipping owed their prominence
and strength to specific causes, a three
point rise in Atlantic gulf being &C.
cOmpanied by reports OF forthcoming
changes Of control.
Industrial alcohol, general motors,
general electric, Baldwin locomotive,
Crucible Steel and Royal Dutch Oil
constituted the other strong special
ties, very little remaining of their two
to four point gains at the end.
United States steel reacted from its
early gain of 13s to slight fractional
loss, other stocks of the same div
ision moving with similar irregular
ity. Rails, Canadian Pacific, except

ounted to 100000 shares.

AN EGGLESS EASTER

has been instituted by prominent
women in Washington, in order to con
serve foodstuffs. 1t is said that, if an
eggless Easter is observed throughout
the United States, 6O,OOO,O0O eggs will

during the Easter season to encourage
consumption of eggs and, while in nor

this other than that it initiates the

that a worldwide food shortage exists,
