ADRIAN STATE AND
NATIONAL BANKS MERGE

Adrian's two banks, the Adrian
State bank and the National Bank of
Adrian, have announced a consolida-
ton which became effective imme-
diately. The new organization con-
tinues under the name of the Adrian
State bank in its building and with
the same capitalization, surplus and
officers as the State bank has had in
the past. The merging of the two
institutions marks no great change
as the controlling stockholders have
been the same individuals in each
bank for some time.
