In 1919 the local branch of the
Southern Trust and Commerce bank
organized in =: --ensro. ~ 1920
they purchased the Fl Centre Ma
tional bank, retaining the late f. b.
Fuller. who was president Of that

In the comparative short tim,
since the original organization rapid
strides haze bees mae by this bank
in the way Of efficiency and court
eous service, gaining them Il strong
following and many friends.
The officers and personnel Of this
organization have been unusually
prominent in local affairs. aud have
been instrumental in gaining friends
and upholding the business policy OF
the bank.
Contrary TO general belief. The re
cent merger of the san Diego par
ent bank with the Bancitalv >inter
csts has made little change in the
Fl Centre branch Of the Southern
Trust, as the business interests or
the two institutions are kept entire
j. separate, the only change being
greater efficiency and wider
scope Of service available to the
bank : dcpositors.

POSTAL RECEIPTS
SET new RECORD
DURING YEAR rs

Regarded as a reliable barometer
Of the financial conditions of the
city, the E. Centre postoffiee re
ceipts during 1926 show a decided
increase over those taken in 1925,
according to report compiled by
Mae Spence. acting -poastmaster.
During the quarterly period, chi
ing March, 1925, the receipts We're
s13.242.J0. while the amount taken
in the during the corresponding pc
riod IN 1926 totalled SIS l999.5I;
from March to June, 1925, the total
was Sl4, lose, as compared to Sill
1896, during 1926; from June TO
September. 1925, Slo,629.41, was
recorded. and June TO September
1926, $l2.6s9.44. From September
10 December, Tie final period Of the
calendar year during 1926 the re
eeipts amounted to Sl5,69j.S3. and
during 1926 for the same time the
total was $l6.01l.9a. The aggregate
total Tor 1926 was s53.7l4.56, Will.
1926 exceeded this by s4,9sl. 40,
amounting to $5S,695.96. which
would seem to Indicate that FL Cen
tro experienced a very substantial
gain in population during this Pc
Rod.
The month Of December, 1926,
showed the largest receipts for ans
one month in the history of the Of
flee, being $4,000. This reflected
the largest Christmas mailing in the
history Of the II Centre postoffice,
and IS regarded as a very satisfac-
tory amount for town Of this size.
