THE OTHER COMPANY

when the Banking Division came
into existence, it demanded that the
Bank dispose Of its real-estate, that
is, "get rid OF it," Accordingly the
property was placed, among the sew
eral rcnl-estate agents for sale and
much Of it has been sold, but it had
to be held until prices were realized
sufficient to prevent a loss. The Or
derS became SO inSistent that the
Bonded Realty Company, Inc. was
organized and tho property trans
fcrred to this concern in order to
come within the provisions Of the
law! Soon, the Banking Division
objected to tho operating OF this
department by the Bank, although
no expenses for salaries, commission
Or foes wore entailed.
