These came in the suspension on the same date, April 16, of the First National Bank and the Thames Loan & Trust company. In the case of the First Natfonal Bank, a perlod of heavy with- drawal of deposits brought the emergency which demanded the sus- pension of business as the wisest way out of the cifficulty and the bank was placed in the hands pf the comptroller of the currency. At the time of the, suspension, vhe bank officials made the predic- tlon that the liquidation of the bank should be accomplished with- out loss to its depositors. This prediction already seems in-a fair way of fulfillment since the receiver in charge has up to date de- clared twe dividends, fotalling 75 per cent, and checks for this pro- portion of their accounts have already been delivered to the depos- itors. In its statement published about two weeks before the recelver- ship the bank showed the sum of $397,6 in individual deposits subject to check. 3 The difficulties of the First National bank led to an immediate run upon the Thames Loan & Trust company, which was at once closed under a restralning order from the bank commissioners and has since been placed in the hands of a receiver. Pending the settlement of certaln legal questions to come before the supreme court, the out- come of the liquidation of the bank is uncertain, but It has been the opinion that depositors in the savings department of the company will be paid in full, while any losses to depositors will fall upon those in the commercial department of the trust company. In this time of stress and financial embarrassment, the other banks of the city, savings as well as national, stood firm as a rock and the increased volume of business that they have since done has served more than ever before to demonstrate the stability of these financial institutions, which so long have given this city the pre- eminence as the banking center of Eastern Connectlcut. What this strength is is indicated by the combined banking cap- ital of close to $35,000,000 in the banks of Norwich and the total of savings bank deposits of over $28,0000,000, of which the Norwich Sav- society, the second largest savings bank in the state, has over 00,000 in deposits. Through their abundant resources the banks of the city were able and willing to offer every accommodation consistent with good bua- iness to. the firms and individuals embarrassed by the tieup of funds in the two closed banks, During the year the Uncas National bank was compelled by its remarkable increase in business to seek larger quarters, solving this question to its own satisfaction.and that of its customers by purchas- ign the First National bank building on Shetucket street and remov- ing’ there November 17. In its new quarters it is admirably equipped to handle its business which has about doubled in volume in the past vear, almost all of this increase coming in the last nine months of the year. With the passage of the federal reserve act, just going Into effect, one of the first two Connecticut banks to apply for federal reserve membership was the Thames National bank, which makes the mag- nificent showing of affording its depositors a singularly strong guar- anty through its capital and surplus which along ed amount to 80 per cent. of its $2,000,000 of deposits. Only a percentage of national banks in the country present a guarant; nearly ap- proximating the full amount of deposits, and it shows available assets combi small so which are more than 184 per cent. of lis deposits A banking incident that attracted more than local comment, and all of the favorable sort, occurred in the action taken by severa gentlemen connected with tne Norwich Savings Society in offering to restore to the school-chiliren depositors of the Thames Loan & Tru: the full amount of their deposits which were tied up by the Trust company. Believing that the unfort sildren, many of t heir f &s a1 institution, of n al- ng, these three gentlemen personally made the offer, which was very generally accepted by the school-children depositors New London Banks Shcw No Great Change.

In Danielson, the community had the satisfying experience of seeing the Windham County Savings Bank reopen on the morning of October 6th after having been closed for fourteen months under a restraining order secured upon application of the state bank commissioners. Upon reopening, the institution found itself in position to open with a sur- plus on hand, and in its reorganized condition those most closely in touch with the bank gave the 130st positive assurances of its strong pesition and ability to go forward and become one of the most im- portant of the smaller savings institutions of this part of the state. When the bank reopened, it did so with the evident confidence of the public as there was no particular desire shown to make withdrawals and the situation was as satisfactory as the bank officials could have wished. The Windham County National bank has just declared a six per cent. dividend on the capital stock. This was the dividend. 159th semi-annual Brooklyn Savings Bank Moved to New Location. In October, the Brooklyn Savings bank took a step long anticipated by removing from Brooklyn and locating on the East Brookivn side of Danielson. In so doing, it exercised the prerogative given by its charter to locate anywhere in the town. Since its organization in 1872, the Brooklyn Savings bank had been linked with the history of the town of Brooklyn, so that the change now made is an epoch-making event in the history of the bank. Normal Year in Willimantic Banking. Pursuing a policy of accuracy in accounting, courteous service and promptness and liberality in dealing, coupled with sound business prin- ciples, the banks of Willimantic, consisting of the Windham National bank, the Willimantic Savings Institute, and the Willimantic Trust company have enjoyed a year of ordinary bu: showing normal gains. The one national bank of the city has a capital of $100,000, with surplus and proflts of $160,000 and is a financial institution that enlist the confidence of the business public with which it deals. Plainfield’s National Bank: Prosperous. The First National bank of Plainfield, which January 1st, 1914, com- Dletes the first 17 months of its existence, made & record of good busi- s in the past twelve months in serving the territory to which it naturally falls heir, and served as an important factor in the business life which has come to Plainfleld with.the great development of that village in the last few years. Putnam Savings Bank Temporarily Closed. Due entirely, it is stated by the bank officers, to depression in the bond market, in which the greater part of the assets of the bank are invested, the Putnam Savings bank was closed on December 29th by a temporary restraining order secured by the state bank commissioners. With the return of the bond market to a normal level it is confidently predicted that the bank will again be in a position to renew busines: since the present action is taken merely as a precautionary measure and the bank has a line of high-grade assets that can be relied upon, and it is the expressed opinion of the bank officials that the bank’s troubles can probably be adjusted without any great loss to depositors.

Just think of it—141 business men called for Norwich Business College graduates from July 1, 1912 to July 1, 1913. Shrewd business men prefer Norwich Business College grad- uates because they are thorough- Iy trained and always Reliable. Because business men prefer Norwich Business College grad- uates, young people prefer to at- tend the Norwich Business Col- lege, Which trains aver twice. as many young people for business as all ‘other schools of Norwich combined. The past vear the Norwich Business Coliege could_not fill several of the openings offered the Norwich Business College graduates because it did not have students enough ready at the time of the openings to fill the places. It is « fact that the most thorough courses, the fine teachers, and the excellent meth- ods have made the Norwich Bus- iness College the most important school in the New London County.
