AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK
OF DURANT is CHARTERED
Sew Institution Has 100000 Capi-
tai Stock

The American National Bank of
Dulant began business Wednesday
morning of this week, the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency advising the of
firIalS to begin business as nation
al bank on that day. The new insti-
tuition succeeds the American State
Bank of Durant, and starts out with
the same corps of officers. directors
and employees as it had as a State
bank.
The capital stock of the new insti-
tuition is 100000 and the surplus
100000. As State bank the capital
was S5O,O0O and the surplus $4,000.
This recent change gives Durant
four strong national banks, and for
the first time in twelve years, not a
single State banking institution.
The change from State to Nation
al bank was decided to be of advan-
tagc in that as national banking
institution it could better serve the
needs of its customers and the the
community it serves.
