Grantsville's Bank
Profits Incorrectly
Quoted in Last Issue

The undivided profits of the
First State Bank of Grantsville
we're listed incorrectly in last
weeks issue of The Republican.
Just one little figure failed to get
in the total but it made a whale
of a lot of difference. Instead of
S176,283.60 which it should have
been, last weeks issue said only
S17,283.60. The total of all four
banks of the county was correct
at SAT- ,27162.
We regret the error.
