FROM FAIR NEBRASKA TO SUNNY TENNESSEE (Continued rrom first page.) been one of the bitter legacies of our race in this country. That we are willing to entrust our money to banks and bankers of our own race is a most significant fact and shows growing race confidence. The fact, too, that we are using banks disproves the charge that we are an improvident people. The Solvent Savings Bank The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company occupies a neat two story brick building at 390 Beale ave nue, which is the Broadway of Colored Memphis. It was founded by the late Robert R. Church, who was its first president. It opened for business June 18, 1906, with the following of ficers and directorate: Robert R. Church, president; M. L. Clay, first vice president; J. W. Sanford, second vice president; W. E. Mollison, third vice president. Mr. Church served as president un . til his death, which occurred about two years ago. He was succeeded by his son, Robert R. Church, Jr., who has recently scored such a signal vic tory in his election as delegate-at large to the national republican con vention and whose cut appears In this issue. The handling of his father’s large estate compelled him to resign the presidency a few months ago and he was succeeded by J. W. Sanford. The present officers besides Mr. San ford, are T. H. Hayes, first vice pres ident; E. W. Irving, second vice-pres dent; Bert M. Roddy, cashier; A. P. Bentley, assistant cashier. The deposits of this bank have grown from $13,374.71, which was the amount December 31st, 1906, to $168, 519.25, the amount on hand April 15, 1916. How is this for the growth of a Negro bank? Fifty years ago slaves. Today bankers! And this without the opportunity of learning the business such as others have. Haven’t we every reason to be proud of the race . which we belong? Ought we ever despair, despite opposition, of rising to the heights of honorable achieve ment in all spheres of legitimate en deavor ? Next week we shall tell you some hing of the Christmas Savings Club Department and other interesting facts about this bank.
