# BROCK GET BERTH # WITH BANKING DEPT. Popular Franklinton Man Made One Of State Bank Examiners J. S. Brock, Jr., of Franklinton and Receiver for the Union Bank in Liquidation, has just been appointed a member of the staff of State Bank Examiner Sims, the official announcement being made last Thursday. The positon carries with it a nice salary and the many friends of Mr. Brock, not only in Bogalusa but all over Washington and St. Tamany parishes will be pleased to know of his selection. In selecting Mr. Brock as one of the bank examiners, Mr. Sims made a selection that will give him a valuable assistant and, at the same time, please the people of this section. Mr. Brock began his banking career at Hackley ten years ago, resigning to go to the Covington Bank and Trust Co., where he remained until he was elected cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank at Franklinton. He was made vice president of the Union Bank at Franklinton when a consolidation was effected. For some time Mr. Brock has been receiver of the Union Bank and has made a remarkable showing and recently made the second payment to the creditors. Mr. Brock assumed his new duties on May 1. It is hoped that his work will call him to Bogalusa and Washington Parish.
