We Are Going To Back Up "Our Bank"—The COLLINGSWOOD NATIONAL BANK

The Bank Holiday is now a matter of history. Inconvenient, unprecedented, regretful at the time. But out of it there are emerging BETTER AND STRONGER BANKING INSTITUTIONS THAN EVER.

THE COLLINGSWOOD NATIONAL BANK, as we understand it, COULD have opened largely UNRESTRICTED.

The Officers and Directors of our home bank have felt it far better, in the long run, to make OUR bank the safest... on the strongest foundation it has rested in the entire 28 years it has been serving Collingswood.

A good, strong bank is a powerful asset to any community. Such a bank is urgently necessary for the convenience of our people and the progress of our Borough.

And this public announcement is to tell all South Jersey that the undersigned will be 100% loyal to the reorganization plan that will, temporarily, make every depositor a stockholder and out of which plan will shortly be realized the goal at which we aim—"Our Bank"—The Collingswood National Bank—again open for normal business without restriction.

Collingswood Bank Receiver Loses Case

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (U.P.)—The receiver of the Collingswood National Bank of Collingswood, N. J., was denied a Supreme Court review of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that a $32,424 deposit of the First M. E. church had a preferred status as a trust fund.

The account had been reduced to $30,000 before the bank closed and the bank had been asked to use this to purchase $30,000 of government bonds but this had not been done when it closed its doors.

The receiver contended that since the funds were in an interest account they could have no preferred status.
