Merging of Two
Large Banks Is
Nearly Completed
Mechanics and Metals Ma
tional to Increase Its Capt.
tai and Take Over the
Produce Exchange Bank

With the completion of plans for
Increasing its stock capital from
s6.000,oo0 to s9.oOO,OOO the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank will absorb
he Produce Exchange Bank, accord
ing to an official announcement, yester-
day. A special meeting of the Me
charles and Metals stockholders has
bee $called for March % to vote OF.
he proposed stock increase.
When the merger program has been
contaminated the combined banks will
have $10,000,0'0 capital. $4,000 900
surplus and about $5,00O,C0O undivided
profits. Acquisition of the business Of
he Produce Exchange Bank will in
volve the taking over of nine branchec.
The present headquarters of the Prod
uce Exchange Bank at 10 Broadway
will also be maintained as a branch
The latter institution now has cap
tai and surplus account Of So 5OOO0U
The latest reports of the condition
Of the two banks showed that the Ne
chanics and Metals has gross deposits
Of s274, 40, Of which $6,422 900
were government deposits. Deposits
of the Produce Exchange Bank are
approximately $4,000 600 so that the
deposits of the combined institutions
will be in excess Of S30O,OOO,OO0.
Merging the two banks brings
together a national bank and state
bank. The law does not permit na-
hon TO IiuA
branches of its own, but does not
forbid the taking over of state bank
which already has branches. The
Chatham and Phenix National Bank has
several branches in the city acquired
in this way.
The proposed increase in the capital
stock of the Mechanics and Metals is
the first in about a decade. The last
increase took place when the bank
took over the old National Copper
Bank: In May, 1914. the business of
quired. The merger of the Produce
Exchange Bank with the Mechanics and
Metals is the outcome of negotiations
in 1915 which resulted in the latter
obtaining control and the election OF
Gates W. McGarrah, president of the
Mechanics and Metals, as president of
the Produce Exchange Bank.
1t was announced yesterday that no
official changes are contemplated in
the personnel of the two institutions
after the merger has been completed
plans, will be offered at par to Me
chanics and Metals stockh holders in the
ratio of one share of new stock for
each share now held AS the stock is
now quoted around $3.50, the "rights"
are worth about S125 q share.
