CONN. TRUST COS. =.
 HAVE 150 MILLION
With These Resources. This state Ranks Twelfth in Entire
 Country.

With trust company resources of $150.11$,359 at the close of business June 90. Connecticut ranked twelfth in trust company resources according g to Trust Companies of the United States" just published bN the United States Mortgage X Trust O. of New York. This shows a gain of $21.211.- 470. or 16.J per cent. over last year.
 The trust company resources of the United States increased nearly 12 per cent and aggregate S11.15O, 446.0S7. which is considerably ill excess of the total banking strength of the country less than 20 years ago.
 John w. Platten, president of the United states Mortgage N Trust Co., in reviewing the past years activities, says:
 This, the 1.th edition of Trust Companies of the United States and the first to be issued after the close of the war, provides an appropriate me- dium for brief mention of the achieve ments of the trust companies in their relation to the great conflict.
 "When this country actively entered upon hostilitieS the trust companies responded with prompt decision and patriotism to the needs of the hour. Contributing very largely on their own account to the success of the five great loans, they cNerted a powerful influ- encc upon their clients and friends to the further great assistance of the government. Their support of other war measures WaS likewise of ines timablc value. as was also their CO operation in the distribution of Wal savings stamps and the encoura cement of a policy of thrift.
 The impressive total of S1l.150.- i+G.0UG trust company resources for 1919. u gain of $1.16".J6O. 900. OI, 1S $ per cent. over last year. is a most gratifying evidence of growth, afford ing aS it does fresh proof of the spirit will which the trust companies have met tn" increasing responsibilities placed upon them and assurance of continued healthy progress in strength and influence"
