/ ment made this morning by 0. g..
! Hore, vice president.
The consolidation of the Pacific
Southwest Trust and Savings Bank
with the First National Bank of
Los Angeles, became effective at
the close of banking busines yes
| terdav. The name of the consoli-
dated institution. as finally ap-
| proved by Comptroller of the Cur
| rency Mclntosh. is Los Angeles
First National Trust 4 Savings
Bank.
According to Horne customers of
the bank may continue to use their
check books and pass books and
other forms until the new supplies
are received and ready for distri,

The responsibility for the chang
es in the matter of checks and
other forms, rests with the bank. -
Horne said. .'Our customers nee
not be bothered with this. We
shall take care of the matter in due
time.
The agreement for the consolida
tion provided for a consolidated ma
! tional bank. uniting the activities
! of the state and national banks, un-
der one charter, with a capital Of
| $l2. 900. surplus ss,000.000 and
undivided profits Of not less than
| $7.750,00O.
Henry NJ. Robinson heads the Los
! Angeles First National Trust 4
Savings Bank. and J. NJ. Elliott,
dean Of bankers in the west, who
has served with the Los Angeles
First National for more than II
| consecutive years. is chairman of
the board.
Mr.. Robinson also heads the First
Securities Co.. which will continue
to be own by the shareholders Of
| the bank, and its assets increased
to total net value Of approximate
! " $4,000, 900. This means that the
, combined book value per share Of

Litigation Settled
The consolidated banking associ.
alton. with the approval of the
Comptroller. had at first sought 10
use the name First National Con
solidatcd Bank 4 Trust Co. The
! First National banks in the com
munities where the consolidated
bank has branch banks. opposed this
name with protests and litigation.
i Amicable conferences between all Of
! the parties concerned resulted in
| the selection of the name Los An
geles First National Trust & Say
ings Bank and upon this agreement,
the court eases were dismissed and
the Comptroller approved the latter
name.
THE only point in controversy
at all times had been as to what
would constitute a proper title for
| the consolidated association that
would best avoid confusion. and at
the same time protect the rights OF
all parties interested.
The outstanding court action was
