the explanation of the various services
performed by the Company in the
matter of acting as Executors, Trustee

the duty of the Company to spread in
formation of this character by every
proper means.
The Equitable is one of the Oldest
banking institutions in the State and

its policy from the day of organization

the formation of The Equitable Trust

ciety are to weld closely all the people
of the institution into a cooperative
