FACTS! In August 1921, the State of Connecticut issued its Certificate of Au- thority to this bank to commence business. The residents of our community were given the opportunity to sub- scribe for all the stock, but at the same time were informed by thd Organizer that he had customers foc all stock not subscribed by them, thus making certain the actual formation of the bank. As the time approached for the hearing before the State Authorities at Hartford on the application for our charter, it was found that not- withstanding the diligent efforts of the"Organizer, less than half the stock § had been subscribed by residents of our community, so subscriptions for 141 shares were obtained from non-residents of Jewett City. Neither the Organizer nor any Company of which he is a Director or officer subscribed for any steck in this bank; nor have they ever owned any stock in it directly or indirectly; neither has the Organizer nor any Company of which he is @ Director or officer ever borrowed any money from this Bank. Neither the Organizer nor any Company ‘of which he is or was anf officer or Direstor, with one exception, has ever had any bank- ing relations with this bank. This one exception is the Bankers’ Trust Company of Nerwich, Connecticut. Recentl~ the Eastern Bankers Corporation acquired 75 shares of the capital stock of this bank as an investment. The Eastern Bankers Corporation is aware of the value of bank stock as an investment and from time to time invests its funds in bank stock. It is not @ bank and possesses no banking powers. Neither the Eastern Bankers Corporation nor any of its officers individually, are now nor have ever been borrowers from this bank This Bank Does Not Own Any Stock in Any Other Bank or Corporation Whatsoever. ’ It has made no loans on bank stock as security, with one exception, which was a loan of Fifty dollars to the sister of our former Treasurer. This loan was amply secured. All loans have been made to residents of Connecticut with one ex- ception, which was a loan, made at the request of our former President to one of his bysiness associates in Boston. Thi loan was amply ecured. This Bank is NOT affiliated with any other bank in the State of Connecticut or elsewhere, nor is it interested in the promwtion of any new bank or other corporation in Connecticut or elsewhere. \ Subject to the Laws of the State of Connecticut and the Orders of the State Banking Department, This Bank is Now and Has Always Been Managed by Its Own Board of Directors. This bank was organized to provide this dommunity with a safe, sound, commercial bank, which wouid within certain advertised hours— 1. Accept deposits. 2. Pay on demand or presentation any check drawn against such deposits. 3. Pay 4% interest on deposits in our Savings Department under conditions printed in our Savings pass books. 4. Provide all the other facilitios of a Commercial Bank & Trust Company. 5. To give prompt and courteous service to patrons and public at all times. Our former Treasurer was not observing and carrying out the fore- going policies in several particulars, and some stockholders, dissatisfied with his conduct of the bank’s business, desired bis resignation. After several conferences between the Directors and these stockholders, resig- natiens including the Treasurer's were abruptly tendered, effective forth- with, This bank will faithfully carry eut the féreaninu policies so long as any of the present Directors participate in its management, irrespec- tive of any individuals who may, from time to time, be elected or ap- pointed to meet the public and actually conduct the. physical operation of the bank. Avny action necessary will be taken to fully carry out the above policies, and satisfy the public for whose funds we fully appreciate that we act as Trustees, and not as owner. ~ ? The Board of Directors of this bank, at a recent meeting, authorized the payment of Wn extra 1% interest per annum ugbn all deposits now in our Bavings Department as well as upon all Savings deposits which may be made between pow and July-Bl, 1922. This means that until otherwise ordered by our Board of Directors money deposited in our Savings Department, will draw the regular interest of 4% ped annumy plus am additional 1% per annum, making a total of 6% per annum, payable at our regular interest periods, April 1st and October 1st. Mr. Chester L. Dudkowski, who has been with the bank since its opening over six montis, has loyally, promptly and efficiently dis- charged his duties and responsibilities and has been recently appoint- ed Assigtant Treasurer. This bank is now managed by a Board of Directors, three of whom are expprienced bankers, but they are not residents of this community, and we prefer that three-fourths or more of its Directors and all of its officers be residents of this community, and in the near future the stockholders will be given the opportunity to nominate additional Directors. It is Now and Will Continue to be the Policy of This Bank to Loan Its Funds to the Residents of This Commun- ity and Its Vicinity. The law requires this bank. fo invest its Sevings deposits in ex- actly the same investments as it requires of Mutual Savings Bank. - We solicit the business of all those who reside in this community or elsewhere whe desire to do business with a safe, sound bank: Jewett City Trust Company W.
