Bank Directors Issue Dividend At Rittman Savings Bank
The Rittman Savings Bank directors mailed dividend checks of one dollar per share to stockholders. Cashier R J Krabill stated the payout came from a clear surplus after obligations were provided for and cited the bank’s strong financial condition in semiannual reports. He noted the bank operates under a temporary government insurance plan through the FDIC, which will become permanent after two months, with deposits up to 2500 at risk. The bank was among the first in the county, state, and nation to receive this insurance arrangement originally set by the government.
