JGering Bank to
r*" Reopen Doors
Confidence in Future Shawn
by Doubling Capital of
First National.
tiering. Neb.,- Feb. The First
National hank of tiering, which closed
Us doors a month ago because Its
cash reserve was depleted, will prob
ably reopen for business next Mon
day. The bank has been completely
reorganized, and the capital stock In
ci eased from $25,000 to $50,000. A
cash reserve of $100,000 will he pro
vided and tlie larger depositors have
signed agreements not to withdraw
deposits for two, three and five years.
This measure was taken to Insure
confidence, in the bank w’hen It re
opens. The new stock has all been
placed In this Immediate vicinity.
The closing of the bank was caused
'"y an excess of "frozen securities,”
the management finding it impossible
to realize on paper in sufficient quan
tities to take care of dully with
drawals. The unanimity with which
I he depositors and others subscribed
lor the new capitalization is an evi
dence of the confidence reposed in
-he officers of the bank.
.The First National bank of Gering
Is the oldest bank In the entire North
Platte valley. Its closing down
temporarily caused no excitement and
did not result In a run upon any other
banka in tills territory.
