Eighteen Thousand Added to Bank Assets in Settlements
Settlements between debtors and the Farmers & Traders National Bank receivership add about 18 000 to bank assets. Two notes paid by Walter M. Pierce and Henry Striker contribute to the sum, exceeding the dividends that would have been paid. Attorney McMahone predicted 29 to 35 percent outcomes, and Striber arrived to finalize with Pierce and Striker. The note payments allow the bank to hold assets without suit. A brief note ends with a plug for the Van Duyn Co fashions.
