Book Description
Excerpt from Financing an Empire, Vol. 2: History of Banking in Illinois The Commercial National had built its deposit account up to fifty million dollars, without merger or consolidation when on September 1, 1909, it took over the Bankers National Bank. The Bankers National Bank was a promi nent institution and had deposits in excess of twenty million dollars, As a part of this consolidation plan the capital-stock of the Commercial National was increased to seven million dollars. The Bankers National made, therefore, an important addition to the components of what subsequently became the Continental and Commercial National Bank. On April 1, 1910, the capital stock of the Conimercial National Bank was increased to eight million dollars. At the same time the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank was organized with capital of one million dollars. Early in 1910 negotiations were opened by the Continental Bank's officials with the directors of the Commercial National Bank with a view to unifying these two interests. The negotiations were brought to a successful conclusion and on August 1, 1910, the Continental National Bank and the Commercial National Bank were merged under the name of the Continental and Commer cial National Bank of Chicago. The new bank had a capital of twenty million dollars and surplus of ten million dollars. The number of banks which were consolidated or merged before the final consolidation of interests August 1, 1910, had been reduced to four major units in the year preceding. The four institutions were the Continental Na tional Bank, the Commercial National Bank, the Commercial Trust and Sav ings Bank and the American Trust and Savings Bank. As a part of the general merger the American Trust and Savings Bank and the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank were consolidated under the name of Continental and Com mercial Trust and Savings Bank. The capital stock of this institution was owned by the stockholders of the National Bank. Thus the union of national and state bank - of commercial, savings, trust and investment business - was insured.

Bankers and Empire

ISBN: 022645925X
Category : Social Science

Pages : 370
Book Description
From the end of the nineteenth century until the onset of the Great Depression, Wall Street embarked on a stunning, unprecedented, and often bloody period of international expansion in the Caribbean. A host of financial entities sought to control banking, trade, and finance in the region. In the process, they not only trampled local sovereignty, grappled with domestic banking regulation, and backed US imperialism—but they also set the model for bad behavior by banks, visible still today. In Bankers and Empire, Peter James Hudson tells the provocative story of this period, taking a close look at both the institutions and individuals who defined this era of American capitalism in the West Indies. Whether in Wall Street minstrel shows or in dubious practices across the Caribbean, the behavior of the banks was deeply conditioned by bankers’ racial views and prejudices. Drawing deeply on a broad range of sources, Hudson reveals that the banks’ experimental practices and projects in the Caribbean often led to embarrassing failure, and, eventually, literal erasure from the archives.
