DEPOSITORS TO RECEIVE A DIVIDEND RECEIVER OF FIRST NATIONAL BANK AUTHORIZED TO PAY A DIVIDEND TO DEPOSITORS Joseph A. Gamble, receiver of the First National Bank of this city, has been authorized by the Comptroller of the currency to pay the depositors a first dividend of six and one-half per cent. The dividend checks will be ready for delivery the latter part of this week. This first dividend represents the amount accumulated to the present time by the management and will be followed by others. Mr. Gamble is devoting his time to the interests of the large number of depositors of the bank and is meeting with gratifying success in that particular. His work has received the unqualified approval of the department and progress is being made along the most efficient lines towards the ultimate winding up of the affairs of the institution as soon as it is possible to be done. This bank suspended business February 20, 1923 on account of the inability of the bank to meet the demands of depositors who had been gradually withdrawing funds out of proportion to the receipts. National Bank Examiner Irwin D. Wright, assisted by F. J. McCullough of the Federal Reserve, temporarily assumed charge of the institution, prior to the assumption of control by the receivership in the hands of Mr. J. A. Gamble. Over $500,000 in assets were carried by the bank which had a capital and surplus of $85,000. ——BUY A POPPY—— Any Fisherman to His?? (Dedicated to Don Grivetti) Wish the wind was in the south, Then the fishin' would be right. (Hold this leader in your mouth, Wet it good and—gosh, don't bite!) Careful? Lordy, woman, gee! These poor fish have brains—they'll see Us first—and disappear— Never'll land one in a year. Guess I'll try a Grizzly King, Had good luck with one last spring. Holy mackerel! Gotta rise! Now don't stand and criticize! Grab the net and wade—'taint deep; Quick, slow poke, good night, don't weep! Golly, watch him run and dive. He's a big 'un—man alive! There, now gently—he's a winner, Weighs three pounds or I'm a sinner (Bless your heart, old sweet patoots, Sure, I'll buy you some new boots.) Glad you picked a Walton keen In preference to a Jelly-bean?
