The Homecoming
of
TR AMERICA

Dun STOCKHOLDERS asked us to bring home
the control of Transamerica and its great
banks. Together we have done so. The home.
coming welcome is reassuring for the future
and much appreciated, and wish could talk
personally with each stakeholder and each
depositor and each friend and patron of our
institutions and tell them how we can now
unitedly work together for the benefit of all.
For more than quarter of century our
institutions have been creative community
forces. They have contributed to home
building, agricultural advancement, and the
development of every industry and the en-
couragement of every movement for the bet
terment of California.
Our object now and for the future likewise
will be to furnish progressive methods and
superior financial facilities and services that
will open up greater opportunities and at
tract and stimulate worthy business enter
prises and anticipate and meet the substan-
tial demands of this fastest growing state
People haven't changed much in the last
twenty-five years. There are many more
people here now and they need our services
more and so we have greater opportunities
than ever before. The banks and other
institutions of Transamerica have record of
years of prosperous growth and earned and
distributed dividends behind them that in
spire confidence in their present and future
ability to manage soundly and make profits.
AS the economic depression through which
the world is now passing did not visit all
places simultaneously or with equal severity,
it is not reasonable to expect that it will
disappear everywhere at once. The start
of prosperity is slow and it has not yet
proceeded far.
So far as | can Judge, we are approaching
new era of prosperity, and California, with
its enlightened and enterprising people,
made up of splendid citizens of every State of
the Union and Of every leading country,

CALIFORNIA; material prosperity advances

From the point of view of the public service,

the past, the most direct, simple, practical
and economical system of running the bus
mess of our great Banks of America in
California and our other splendid insttu-
tions to serve the depositors and clients and
the communities in which they live and
insure profitable results for all concerned.
1t was through the cooperation and de-
cisive action of some 100000 stockholders
who have their homes here, that the control
of ofTransamerica and its valuable institutions
has been returned to California Our insti-
tutions, with their 100000 stockholders and
more than one million people who have
very vital interest in this epoch-making
decision, are obviously an important and
necessary factor in the economic well-being
of California.
California is the place and now is the pro-
pitiOus time to start the wheels of progress
and prosperity moving forward again. We
worked together to bring the Transamerica
institutions back home and secure their con-
troll by Californians. Standing and working
together we have good reason to believe that
our combined efforts will again place and
maintain our institutions in the forefront
of profit-making and profit sharing financial
