The POolesvlIle Bank Makes An
nOuncememt OF Cor sOlidati0n.

To Our Patrons: -
Twenty-Five years ago few individual
organized The Poolesville National Banl
to meet a lone-felt need for banking facii
ties in this community. They were pioneer,
then. and endured the hardships usually
, encountered by pioneers. This institution
, established banking good will, which ha:
benefited every individual and industry In
| the community.
By constant application of conservative
recognized banking standards, we built up
a surplus equal to more than $50 per cent
of the capital stock paid in. To convince
you how successfully this has been accom-
plished every cent Of this surplus repre-
sents earnings. not one cent Of which was
paid in through the purchase Of stock.
A safe depository for our patrons money
has always been uppermost in the minds
of the management of this bank. Service
consistent with safety has been our watch
word.
AS we were pioneers in bringing banking
service to this neighborhood so we again
are pioneers in bringing additional banking
facilities to our community. in the way Of
Trust Company Services. In order to pro-
vide larger banking facilities than this
vicinity has hitherto enjoyed. and also to
meet pressing need for Trust Services.
and to back those services with the security
and facilities afforded by the largest Trust
Company in the State of Maryland. outside
of Baltimore City. the directors of this in
stitution, at special meeting, voted unani-
mously in favor of plan of consolidation
with the Central Trust Company of Mary
land. and recommended it to the stock
holders for their approval.
For your further information. we beg to
state that all trust companies and State
banks are under the supervision Of the Bank
Commissioner of the State Of Maryland.
who acts in the same capacity as the Ma
tional Bank Examiners in National Banks.
Several times during the year these exami-
nations are made. and they are just as
thorough and rigid as are those Of the Ma
tional Bank Examiner. so that at all times
your money is safeeuarded in the same
manner as in the national banks.
Now word with reference to the man
aeement of your local institution. The
Poolesvlle Bank will continue to be oper-
ated as it has been. by our own people
under the name and style Of Central Trust
Company of Maryland. Poolesville Station"
In addition to providing increased bank
ing facilities. it will be able to serve the
community in the capacity Of guardian,
trustee, committee. executor and admins
traitor, under appointment. and thus be in
a position to assist in solving the many per-
picking matters which arise in the handling
of estates and trust funds. by placing as it
will. at the disposal Of those who may seek
it. the advice and counsel of the experienced
officers Of its legal department.
Aside from certain administrative fea-
lures. no change whatever will take place
in relations heretofore held between this
bank and its customers they remain iden-
tically the same. The officers and directors
will be glad to explain personally these
matters to any person needing or desiring
