EDITORIAL
A STEP FORWARD

Merger of our National Bank
of Smyrna with the Equitable
Security Trust Company of Will
mington should be hailed by every
progressive citizen as step for
ward in our community life.
Stockholders of both banks
voted in favor of the merger on
April 2. Banking authorities ap-
proved, and the change officially
became effective Monday May 6.
Henceforth the National Bank of
Smyrna bears the designation,
Bank of Smyrna Office of Equit-
able Security Trust Company.
The immediate results of this
merger may not be plainly notice
able. They are nonetheless tangi-
BILE and beneficial. The National
Bank of Smyrna has served us
faithfully for 145 years. 1t has
satisfactorily met the needs of
individuals and local industry
since its founding in 1912. To-
day, however, Smyrna people and
Smyrna plants require more di-
versified banking facilities and
services, and these II particularly
in matters of trust administration
and estate planning - Equitable
Security Trust Company is able
to give us.
Along with these broader ser
vices, the bank gains the rein
forcement of strong financial
backing from Equitable Security,
and increased prestige through its
link with the eight other offices
of the Wilmington institution. At
the same time, we have been ad-
vised that no change will be made
in the personnel of the Bank of
Smyrna Office. This means that
the identity is preserved, that we
are still doing business with the
friendly stockholders, directors
and employees we have been deal
ing with for years.
For these reasons, we repeat:
the bank merger is a step for
ward. Our congratulations are
extended to the officers of both
institutions, and to their stock
holders, for their acumen and
foresight in effecting the change.
