Growth Demands
Capital Increase
AT Local Bank
First National
Wants $4,000
More In Capital

Stockholders of the First National
Bank will meet March IS to con,
slider increasing the capital funds
OF the bank by S85, 900, E. Waller
Sanford. executive vice president
said today.
The purpose Of the meeting of the
shareholders is to vote on reSO-
luton amending the Articles of AS
soclatlon OF the bank to provide for
an increase in the common capital
stock Of the bank from 100000 par
value to Sl25 900 par value through
the sale Of $50 additional shares of
500 par value common stock. The
meeting will be held in the board
OF directors room at , pm.
Although the par value of the
stock is only 500. the price per
share will be $40. Sanford ex-
planned. Thus the capital of the
bank will increase by s25 900, and
the other 100000 will be divided as
follows: $4,000 to surplus, and
$4,000 to undivided profits.
The first opportunity to buy will
be offered to present shareholders.
Sanford stated They will be issued
rights to subscribe to the new stock
at price Of $40 per share on the
basis of one new share for each
four shares of stock now held Frac-
tional warrants viii also be issued
IN those cases where the number of
shares now held is less than four or
where the number is not evenly d.
visible by four Both rights and
fractional warrants Will be trans
ferable, Sanford said.
Sanford speculated that the pres
ent stockholders would exercise
their rights to purchase the new
stock. The book value of the 900
shares was S409.74 per
share on December 81. 1858. After
the sale of $50 additional shares at
$40 per share the book value viii
be approximately s3947l
o The selling price of stock is gen
orally determined by what the
buyer is willing TO pay and the
seller is willing to sell for. Sanford
said the last sale Of stock was at
$3.50 per share. and there were a
number Of orders to buy at that
price. Thus the price OF $40 per
share is a bargain that none Of the /
present shareholders are likely to I
turn down
Based on the present outlook for
business. Sanford said tour board
Of directors believes the bank can
continue to pay the annual dividend
Of Sl5 per share The return of
SD on an investment of $3.50 gives
an income Of approximately 42e
per cent.
Sanford said the board OF direc-
tors is in favor of increasing the
capital funds Of the bank, and he
explained that the last increase was
made over 80 years ago.
AT that time out total assets
were little over a million dollars"
Sanford said To-day our total as
sets are almost seven million. The
bank has grown TO the point where
additional capital is necessary.
