NI 1 S Wit I Paper Money Whole No. 125 A National Bank With A State Charter The First National Bank of St. LouiS by RONALD L. HORSTMAN Numismatist and Financial Historian @1986 by Ronald L. Horstman Page 185 HE First National Bank of St. Louis was granted Charter 89 on September 12, 1863. This was a conversion of the First Ward Savings Institution, which had operated at 28 Carondelet Avenue for six years. Ferdinand W. Cronenbald, former vice president of First Ward Savings Institution, became president of the newly organized national bank; he owned 70 shares of stock in said bank. Peter Weiss became the cashier. This bank was capitalized for $100,000.00, but this could have been increased up to $1,000,000.00 if necessary. The bank was located at the intersection of Carondelet, Fifth and Park in a three-story, angular-shaped, masonary structure, topped by a large clock. The bank was issued, and circulated, $183,990.00 in national currency in all denominations up to and including $100 notes. A change of cashiers, with Christian Fishback replacing Weiss on May 22, 1866, precipitated a minor run on the bank by a group of ladies who feared that the change of officers indicated the bank was in financial difficulties. They withdrew their gold and greenbacks and held them for several days until they rea- lized that the bank was still solvent, and then redeposited their money. In November of 1866 a rather unusual robbery took place at the bank. While the employees were taking their lunch in the back part of the banking rooms, someone entered the bank and carried off $10,000.00, which had been left in piles on the desks and in the tellers' drawers. On July 16, 1870 the stockholders of the bank, for reasons The form for this 60-day note was altered from one for the First Ward Sayings Institution. This first charter "lazy two" is shown through the courtesy of Eric P. Newman and the Mercantile Money Museum. zrtt 4,4 /:,er,/ //i wit am :■tYerfe (bite • Paper Money Whole No. 125Page 186 ' STAILerffs,21? 1-.Y.x4V44 ' ,' - ----- ' ,..'

On July 25, 1870 the bank deposited $104,990.00 with the Treasurer of the United States for the redemption of their out- standing notes. On July 20, 1870, just four days after the bank relinquished their national charter, they applied for and received Missouri State Bank Charter 35 to operate with a capital of $200,000 as the First National Bank at St. Louis, changing only the word "of" to "at" from their previous title. The 1872 Annual Report of the Comptroller of the Currency contained the following com- ments: A few national banks have gone into liquidation and reorganized as State banks, retaining their national ti- tle. State savings banks and private companies have also assumed the title of "national". These corpora- tions and companies erect large signs over their doors, issue conspicuous advertisements, and obtain recogni- Lion in the counterfeit detectors among lists of national banks, thus transacting business under false colors, which, of itself, should be sufficient to put all business men upon their guard. Such abuses should, however, be prohibited, and the Comptroller recommends the passage of an act prohibiting the use of the word "na- tional" as a title for banks other than those organized under the national currency act. The March 1873 amendment to the National Bank Act in- cluded the Comptroller's recommendation, and, with the effec- tive date of the act in September, 1873, the bank reluctantly changed its title to Empire Bank, under which it operated until going into voluntary liquidation on January 18, 1877.

Additions to Eastman Business College Syngraphic and Philatelic Emissions by FRED REED In the Jan.-Feb., 1986., issue of PAPER MONEY, former editor Barbara Mueller contributed certain "Philatelic Sidelights to Eastman Business College Currency." As a collector of Eastman material for more than a decade, let me clarify several of Ms. Mueller's comments. I will confine them primarily to the syngraphic points she raises. D URING the past decade I have collected Eastman Business College material aggressively and own about 200 items. These include many types and varieties of the school's scrip, as well as related checks, stocks, receipts, printed matter, philatelic items and photographs. I have also ex- amined other collections and cataloged about 500 items during that time. My research, in addition, allowed me to inventory the remains of the school's archives. Significantly, I have also been helped by the experience of numerous other collectors and dealers, and I have had access to the family heirlooms of about a dozen former students. The latter are especially significant because it is possible to view a cross section of items in use at one of Eastman's schools in a particular time frame. This is very helpful because Eastman scrip and other material underwent both great and gradual Paper Money Whole No. 125 changes over a long period of time, as evidenced by the prodig- ious numbers of variants extant. Since Eastman was training his students for "real world" jobs, the evolution of the school's scrip, etc., mirrors to a great extent that of the general monetary sys- tem at large. Regarding Barbara Mueller's recent article, the cover depicted raises interesting considerations for study. As collectors of this series know, the college's scrip, etc., exhibits many subtle varia- tions. Few of these were gratuitous, and it is most often possible to discover the reason for such changes. From Barbara's article, I understand that she examined only the photograph of the cover. I believe I examined this very piece (or its close twin) at STAMPShow '84, the American Philatelic Society's annual con- vention. I understand from Barbara's article that she assumed the cover was black and tan on the face and green on the back, due to such a listing in John Muscalus' 1946 monograph, Paper Money of Early Educational Institutions and Organizations. I be- lieve she erred. The item I examined was printed in red and blue. There was no back printing because there was no need for any. I have seen other such items and own one. The listing in Dr. Muscalus' monograph refers to the "issued" college note of this type. Barbara's mistake is misapplying a catalog entry is hardly novel for anyone trying to interpret scant catalog entries. This is especially so in a case like this, since John's collection ul- timately contained many dozens of quite similar items he did not know about when he published his monograph. Let me discuss the cover directly. Ms. Mueller is right, it was a travesty in regard to addressing it to a specific recipient. How- ever, as collectors who have been Eastman's other flamboyant advertising covers realize, part of Harvey Gridley Eastman's ex- pertise was his showmanship. This cover evolved directly from the type of note listed by Dr. Muscalus in the following manner: "In 1864 a new series of notes was designed for Eastman's Poughkeepsie school, which had already experimented with several types in the previous five years. We know precisely that this was done in that year because Eastman registered the design (received a design patent) for this note. This was the se- cond of five series of notes to employ his likeness. It was created in response to the National Currency legislation recently under- taken . Notes in this series were issued on the First National Bank and the Second National Bank, two of four such "banks of cir- culation" set up in Eastman's actual business curriculum. The other two banks operating at this time were the Bank of Com- merce and Eastman College Bank. Neither issued notes of the National Currency type to my knowledge. This would be ex- pected since the other two banks were regarded as "state char- tered." Denominations issued included $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500. I have never seen a $1000 note of this series, but have seen that denomination for other series employed at the same time, so feel that its issue was likely." This new design was both an artistic success and a personal triumph for Professor Eastman, who was driven by an enor- mous ego. The design, accompanied by appropriate advertising slogans, was quickly employed as a letterhead on school station- ery. on printed advertising matter, and also (as shown by the cover depicted) in the manner illustrated in the Jan.-Feb. issue of Paper Money, p. 19. Although these slogans were somewhat obscured by the stamps on the cover, they can be clearly seen on an illustrated letter sheet in my collection. We can see that its use as a cover was deliberate. This item is not merely a folded letter sheet that was franked and mailed. For collectors unfamiliar with this practice (which was wide- spread at the time in domestic service and continues in use to- Page 187 day, especially on overseas mail where weight is a cost factor), the correspondent merely folded the sheet and pasted it to- gether as a "self-mailer." I believe this is not the case here. Notice on the right side, the wording has been altered from two to three lines and shifted downward to allow room for a stamp. Obviously it was not contemplated by Eastman that the sender would affix two stamps, partially obscuring the top legend. From such minutia, we can also deduce that its use as a cover came after its use as a letter sheet. The wording changes from "in America" on my letter sheet that was used in 1865 to "in the world" , on the cover Ms. Mueller illustrated. This was a natural progreS'sion for the egocentric proprietor whose items reveal this progression from state to national to international acclaim. The boast was no empty one, however, since large numbers of foreigners, especially from Latin America, did attend his institu- tion. We can also trace this progression from note to other printed matter from the imprint of Hatch and Company. All examples of the "issued" college notes of this series that I have examined show the printer's address as 29 William Street, which the firm occupied until 1864. Thereafter it removed to the Trinity Build- ing, 111 Broadway. This imprint appears on the letter sheet in my collection (hand dated 25 August 1865), which was sent to a prospective student, and a printed form letter (with the design in red and green) urging recipients to influence young men in their respective areas to attend the school. This latter item also bears the "in the world" version of the legend. Hatch and Com- pany occupied these premises from 1864-1869. Finally, it is possible to date the college notes of this type as being in use from 1864 to 1871. With regard to the Eastman "Excelsior" stamps shown by Ms. Mueller, I was not heretofore aware that they existed as imper- forate varieties. Might the straight edges result from trimmed perforations despite the ample margins? I frankly don't know. Does anyone possess imperforate multiples of this stamp? I can, however, shed some light on when these stamps were used. They are illustrated in an Eastman College newspaper (one of several I have owned or examined) dating from 1865 and have appeared on covers "post marked" during the 1870s. I might also add that Eastman also issued imitation "revenue stamps" in two-cent, five-cent, ten-cent, and non-denominated varieties. The college also had stamped envelopes, and went through several "stampless" cover periods (including one in the 1890s) for reasons not entirely clear. I hope these added observations help readers to understand the comprehensiveness of Eastman's system of actual business curriculum and the diversity and complexity of the items he em- ployed in giving his students virtual "on-the-job" training. We have not even touched the plethora of ledgers, bank books, fis- cal papers, insurance documents and other items that formed the integral workings of his patented system. I am in the process of cataloging Eastman's brand of syn- graphics in a comprehensive manner. Its diversity and extent— the schools were operated for nearly 80 years in seven cities— make this challenge not only interesting but difficult. I would welcome correspondence from like-minded individuals on this subject. Please write to me at P.O. Box 902033, Dallas, Texas 75390-2033. All assistance will be acknowledged. SUPPORT YOUR SOCIETY Paper Money Whole No. 125Page 188 Obbolete Notes itedeentable in, Wobtage of'Ffactiorial Wreney' by M.R. FRIEDBERG S OMEWHERE, somehow, most of us become intrigued bythe odd or unusual item that is just a little bit differentthan the norm. As a collector of postage and fractional currency, I have always been interested in the obsolete notes is- sued in denominations of less than a dollar during the Civil War. The normal redemption statement on obsolete notes is "Re- deemable (or Payable) in Current Bank Bills" or a similar leg- end. In searching through dealer's stacks of material, I discov- ered that there were very few "Payable in Postage Currency". Further investigation discovered that there are a few inscribed "Payable in Fractional Currency" or "Payable in Postage Stamps" and one token "Redeemable in Postage Currency". General F.E. Spinner, generally acknowledged to be the father of postage currency, was a native of the Utica, New York area. Not surprisingly, the Utica merchants were the most active issuers of these "Redeemable in Postage Currency" notes. S.W. Chubbuck was the most prolific of the Utica issuers. He was an inventor and manufacturer of telegraph equipment, as well as "Philosophical Supplies". Chubbuck also issued a series of store cards (metallic coin-like tokens) listed by Miller as Numbers 1055 through 1063. His notes were dated in four series: March 12, 1863; April 1, 1864; Jan. 2, 1865; and July 1, 1865. The variations include values of lc, 2c and 3c plain backs plus notes printed on overruns of railroad maps or bonds, different type styles, different inks and a note having an inverted face on the back. In addition, one of the three-cent variations includes the Morse code alphabet and presents an unusual quality to the otherwise common printed note appearance. It has taken a bit of detective work to determine the actual issuer of some of the notes. The note signed by J.P. Richardson was particularly challenging to locate. The note was obviously assembled from stock dies by the printer and according to the printed legend issued by someone at 21 Liberty St., Utica, New York. The 1863 Utica Directories indicated no particular occu- pant of 21 Liberty St. and the listing for Mr. J.P. Richardson was his home address. His occupation was given cryptically as a "Bookkeeper". The discovery of a note "Redeemable in Cur- rent Bank Bills" issued by T.O. Grannis Company's Bank, 21 Liberty St., Utica, New York and dated 1862 solved the mys- tery since Mr. Richardson signed both notes! This S.W.

DORNFEST Part I The First National Bank of Staten Island at New Brighton, 1886-1905 (This, part I, was originally printed in the Spring edition of the Staten Island Historian.) The year 1986 will mark the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the First National Bank of Staten Island. This institution was the first of six national banks to issue currency in Richmond Coun- ty at various times up until all notes were recalled in 1935. At that time, only three of the note issuing banks remained in business. This series of articles will document the history of each of the note issu- ing banks. To date, all of these banking houses have been either liquidated or absorbed by other in- stitutions. Five-dollar note of the Second Charter Period. First Issue of the Series of 1882. The First Na- tional issued only five, ten, and twenty-dollar notes of this type, each one hand-signed by the bank president and cashier then in office. The bank serial num- ber eight is below the picture of President Garfield. The Treas- ury serial number is the longer one on the upper right after the word Currency. HEN one person asks another where he keeps his money, the answer usually is: "1 keep it in the bank." But this could have several meanings, since the word "bank" is a catch-all for several different types of savings institu- tions. The saver could be referring to a savings and loan associa- tion or a bank, each of which has some different concerns and business procedures, or to a commercial or a savings bank, again each having varying business interests. Someone might deal with a state or a national bank, the former receiving its char- ter to operate from its home state, while the latter does business under a federal charter. National banks came into existence as a result of the National Banking Act of February 25, 1863. The main purpose for creat- ing the National Banking System was to provide the United States with a uniform national currency of paper money (nation- al bank notes) backed by government bonds. Upon the pur- chase of the appropriate amount of United States bonds, each national bank was permitted to issue national currency backed by the bonds. This currency operation accounted for two of the three ways in which the banks profited. Income was derived from the rate of interest generated by the bond coupons, from issuing the currency itself, and from deposits. The basic design of each denomination of currency issued was the same for each bank, the major differences being that each note carried the name and location of the issuing institu- tion, as well as the bank's charter number, on its face. National bank notes were issued in various formats until 1935 when all United States bonds bearing the circulation privilege were re- called for redemption. Although the first national banks were formed in 1863, Staten Island did not host one of its own until 1886. Recognizing the need for additional sources of capital to fund the growth of com- merce and industry on Staten Island, as well as the opportunity to turn a profit, a group of businessmen came together late in 1885 for the purpose of forming a national bank. Paper Money Whole No. 125 One of the prime movers of this group, Charles H. Ingalls of Port Richmond, contacted the Comptroller of the Currency ear- ly in December 1885 requesting permission to organize a bank at New Brighton. Seeking information on local conditions and the people desiring to open the bank, Comptroller H.W. Can- non sent inquiries to the Staten Island area and was assured by local citizens of good standing of the usefulness to the communi- ty of the proposed enterprise. The bankers-to-be were depicted in letters received in Washington as men of integrity, citizens of Richmond County, and as individuals of the "highest character whose names are the guarantee of the good faith of the enter- prise."' Charles H. Ingalls Comptroller Cannon's consent was soon received, and In- galls and his associates set about forming the Richmond County National Bank, with a capital stock of $100,000. It was shortly determined by the founders that since most people, both resi- dents and off-islanders, were more used to referring to Rich- mond County as Staten Island, it would probably generate more confidence among potential customers to change the name of their bank. The comptroller was again contacted to obtain per- mission for a change of title to the First National Bank of Staten Island at New Brighton. There was no problem with this request, which was easily approved.' The initial meeting held to organize the bank took place on January 9, 1886 in Wiener's Bay View Hotel at the foot of Ar- rietta Street, Tompkinsville. That day the Articles of Associa- tion, the Organization Certificate and the Certificate of Officers and Directors were signed, and the Board of Directors were elected, as were the following officers: James M. Davis. Presi- dent; Charles H. Ingalls, Vice-President; and Cyrus Walser, Cashier. On January 28th the bank deposited $25,000 worth of 3 percent United States bonds with the Treasury to secure its cir- culation, and the next day received its charter, number 3444. 3 Temporary quarters for the new business were established in the rear of a building on the south side of Richmond Terrace near Jersey Street, New Brighton. The area also functioned as a store and a tinsmith's shop. At that time the front of the building was occupied by Mr. Welzin, a jeweler, and by the post office. Page 193 The address of the bank has been recorded as both 375 and 378 Richmond Terrace, but it has not as yet been possible to deter- mine which one is correct. The bank opened for business on or about February 15, 1886. 4 Since all but one of the officers and directors were Staten Is- landers, the bank was immediately accepted as a trustworthy in- stitution. By the end of 1886 the First National had recorded de- posits of $103,207. 5 Desiring to occupy a separate building in which to conduct its business, and strongly urged by bank examiners to do so, the di- rectors, early in February, had purchased a triangular plot of land for a bank structure at the corner of Stuyvesant Place and Richmond Terrace. On September 24th ground had been brok- en at the site, but construction was delayed by the plans of the railroad. The bank was thus reluctantly forced to move into tem- porary quarters at the foot of Wall Street a year or so after open- ing for business. This interim location near the old ferry landing in the area known as "The Fields," is presently part of the rail- road yards.' Cashier Walser resigned in 1887 and Mr. F.U. Johnstone, Jr. succeeded him. Meanwhile, the bank continued to be well man- aged and recorded substantial growth each year. Deposits had reached $269,652 in 1890 when Johnstone resigned and was followed by J.H.B. Edgar as cashier. There is some evidence that Johnstone might have been forced to leave because of neg- ligence. Comptroller Edward S. Lacy had been in contact with bank officials concerning the lack of a semi-annual report of earnings and dividends for part of 1889, to which Vice-Presi- dent Ingalls responded. Claiming a possible oversight by the forMer cashier because of his "youth and inexperience", Ingalls went on to assure the comptroller that there was no intention to deceive federal officials. His assurances seemed to satisfy Wash- ington.' Mr. Edgar's tenure as cashier was short lived. Less than two years after his appointment Edgar resigned over a dispute with the other officers involving, in part, the reduction of his power by the Directors. Vice-President Ingalls then resigned his posi- tion to become cashier, and John F. Emmons became vice- president early in 1892. In spite of these rapid changes the com- munity continued to give the bank its support, as evidenced by the rise in deposits to $402,724 by the end of the year.' The time was now rapidly approaching when a decision would have to be made about the location of a permanent bank building. The land purchased in 1886 was very favorably situ- ated and had doubled in value by 1892. Reasons for this includ- ed the moving of county buildings to the immediate vicinity, the building of the B&O railroad station, and the completion of one of the largest hotels in New York State, the Hotel Castleton, within a few hundred feet of the land. The pressure to build or sell came from the national banking law that forbade a bank from holding title to any real estate for longer than five years un- less it was necessary for the transaction of its business. Early in 1893 the decision was made to sell for a profit and seek an even more convenient location for the First National.' The election of directors and new bank officers in January 1894 was the most important one since the bank was founded. President Ingalls and the new cashier, Theodore H. Spratt, were to guide the business through its last eleven years. The choice of Ingalls to replace H. Eugene Alexander, who now became vice- president, was considered a good one by the local press. Alex- ander had strong business commitments in Manhattan and had to attend to them daily, making his full attention to the job of Page 194 Paper Money Whole No. 125 Home of the First National Bank of Staten Island, circa 1892 (Staten Island Historical Society photo). bank president a difficult one. Ingalls, on the other hand, would always be at the bank to attend to business." Mr. Spratt of Port Richmond had been with the bank less than three years before his election as cashier. He had formerly been employed with a bank in Manhattan, and was hired by the First National as a paying teller. Later he was made assistant cashier and was known for his integrity and business acumen." In July 1865 plans were drawn and presented for a new building. By January of the following year bids had been offered and the contract for the new structure was awarded to Colin McLean. A little over a year was required for construction, and the First National was able to occupy its new premises on March 1, 1897. It was a handsome building costing $50,000 and locat- ed along Jay Street, now Richmond Terrace, on a portion of the site presently occupied by the Supreme Court building. This location was to be the bank's final home. 12 There is little doubt that Charles H. Ingalls was the driving force behind the success of the bank. Originally as vice-president and then president, Ingalls was personally responsible for much of the popularity and prosperity of his institution. However, suc- cess did not come without difficulties. In spite of the fact that na- tional banking regulations forbade branch banking for national banks at this time, Ingalls, since at least 1893, had operated two of what he called 'offices of accommodation' for depositors. These were located at the St. George ferry station and in Port Richmond and proved very beneficial to business.' Due to either ignorance of their existence, which seems un- likely, or reluctance to act, which seems more likely, govern- ment representatives took no official notice of these so-called branch activities until 1899. That year the Comptroller of the Currency instructed bank officials to close the office at the ferry station." Ingalls sent a vigorous reply to Comptroller Dawes defending his actions. After agreeing to comply with the comptroller's di- rective, Ingalls pointed out that there was only one clerk in the ferry office. He said that no formal banking had ever been con- ducted there, and that it was merely a place where customers could leave money for deposit on their way to or from Manhat- tan. Depositors, Ingalls said, were always informed that the saf- est thing to do was to go directly to the bank to conduct any bus- iness. However, if they desired to drop off their deposits in the ferry station rather than walk the 300 yards to the bank, Ingalls could see nothing wrong with providing this service. He also maintained that the only way for his bank to compete with those in lower Manhattan was to provide this convenience for Staten Islanders.' Paper Money Whole No. 125 The First National's activities in Port Richmond did not come under federal scrutiny until 1902. Replying to an inquiry from Deputy Comptroller Kane, Ingalls stated that in spite of reports to the contrary the bank operated no branch at Port Richmond. He did mention, however, that bank employees living in that area on occasion brought deposits to the bank when requested to do so by local customers. But due warning was always given to depositors in regard to the questionable safety of this proce- dure. The truth of Ingall's statement comes under serious doubt in light of the bank examination report of April 14, 1903. Ex- aminer Francis N. Buck points out in this document that the bank regularly sent a clerk to Port Richmond to meet customers crossing by ferry to New York City and collected deposits from them for transportation to New Brighton. These activities were still under investigation by examiners in May, much to the dis- may and embarrassment of Ingalls." It is apparent that as long as the bank kept its customers as the first and foremost of its concerns, the matter of branch opera- tions and minor problems with Washington would be of little consequence to public confidence in the business. Examination reports repeatedly refer to the bank as "clean, strong, well man- aged, conservative, in good condition, and prosperous." Local opinion confirms these feelings as witnessed by the sum total of deposits by the end of 1904: $834,937. In addition, a local newspaper presents bank officers as "up-to-date, conservative, far-sighted and keen" in their business dealings." With the First National in such a secure condition, and having such a competent and well-liked management, it is doubtful if Staten Islanders were parepared for the next piece of major news they would hear concerning the bank. Readers of the Staten Islander of February 4, 1905 were greeted by a story re- lating the proposed absorption of the First National by the Corn Exchange Bank, a state banking institution. The Corn Exchange Bank had proposed to take over First National stock at an offer of $325 per share and in time absorb it. The directors of the Staten Island bank had met on February 2nd and a majority of the holders of stock on the board had favored the offer. The takeover was not to be sudden or imme- diate, but would involve a gradual transfer of First National busi- ness to the state bank, and the eventual resignation of its federal charter. Since national banks were not then allowed to have branches or independent connections with other banks, the Corn Exchange plan seemed flawed from the start. But the state bank went on to declare its further hope of retaining most of the former officers and directors as an advisory group and of keep- ing on the old staff to maintain the bank's popularity among Is- landers.' Events now transpired more quickly than originally antici- pated. A final figure of $328 per share was reached on February 6th for the sale of First National Bank stock. Walter E. Frew, act- ing for the Corn Exchange Bank, took possession of 843 shares of stock and, along with the directors who temporarily retained at least ten shares each, acted as a committee to liquidate the Staten Island Bank. Upon completion of liquidation, the direc- tors' shares were to be turned over to Frew, giving the Corn Ex- change Bank 975 of 1,000 shares. The remaining stockholders were offered the same terms of sale for their stock until further notice. Both promised to sell. The same staff was retained to conduct business and the current board and officers did remain as an advisory group." The First National Bank held its last stockholders meeting on February 16, 1905. A resolution for voluntary liquidation was passed to take effect on February 25th, at which time the bank would become the Corn Exchange Bank, Staten Island Branch, Page 195 operating at the same location. On February 23, 1915 the branch moved to another building at 162 Stuyvesant Place (now 24 Bay Street) next to the St. George Branch of the New York Public Library. In 1957 the bank changed its name to the Chemical Corn Exchange Bank and more recently to the Chemical Bank. This branch is still in operation and if one looks closely at the front of the building, the words Corn Exchange Bank can still be discerned." The question arises as to why the directors and stockholders decided to terminate the business of the First National in 1905. Speculation is the only avenue open to arriving at a possible answer. The bank was prosperous, and the officers esteemed in the community. But what better time to sell an investment than at the height of its success? Also, the bank's federal charter would expire in 1906, and while renewal would have been rou- tine for such a successful operation, it would have meant the be- ginning of a new era for the bank. The sale was a wise financial move, in keeping with the opinion of most people that the offi- cers and directors were talented, far-seeing and admirable busi- ness men. OFFICERS DIRECTORS James M.

Paper Money Whole No. 125 Page 197 Interest Bearing Notes ALadrarym s The Memphis Show is now behind us. In the ensuing weeks a number of activities are planned. I'm writing this just before the ANA Convention, but the editor will be including the 1986 elec- tion results below. MEMPHIS 1986 In the July-August issue you found a report of the SPMC Awards Banquet held at Memphis. You also found with your May-June issue a special 25th Anniversary card that was made available by the American Bank Note Company to all SPMC and IBNS members, featuring the Statue of Liberty printed in in- taglio, with a matching hologram. In answer to several requests about extra cards, we have none available for sale — each member received one with the May-June issue. As a bonus, a card will be sent (as long as supply lasts) to each NEW MEMBER of the SPMC. The SPMC Governors met on June 21; several matters of in- terest and importance were discussed: • We voted to increase the 1987 dues to $20 per year. This was done only after much discussion and consideration of other options. The cost of printing and mailing the maga- zine MUST be covered by dues, and with the increased printing and mailing costs, we must adjust our dues accord- ingly. • We voted to elect a new Secretary and a new Treasurer for the Society. Bob Cochran of Florissant, Missouri has been named secretary, and Dean Oakes of Iowa City, Iowa has been named treasurer. With these new people taking office, we should be able to keep our membership records current. Mr. Cochran will keep the membership records for the Society, and be in charge of dues renewals, address changes, and related communications. If you have any problems regarding your membership, dues, non-re- ceipt of issues, etc., please contact: Bob Cochran SPMC Secretary P.O. Box 1085, Florissant, MO 63031 • We voted to approve an installment payment plan for Life Members. This provides for payments of $50 bi-monthly until the $300 is paid in full. LIFE MEMBERSHIPS Ron Horstman, who is the New Membership Coordinator, will still be accepting and processing NEW applications for mem- bership. He will also be handling the LIFE MEMBERSHIPS (as some of them are also new members). If any of the LIFE MEM- BERS have NOT RECEIVED their metallic Life Membership card, please contact Ron, so that one can be ordered for you. Contact: Ron Horstman Box 6011 St. Louis, Missouri 63139 As a point of interest, it will be beneficial to the Society that the Secretary, New Membership Coordinator, and Editor all live within the St. Louis area. This should facilitate communication relating to membership and other matters. SPMC LAPEL PINS AVAILABLE Each charter member of SPMC received a special charter member pin—either in person at Memphis, or thereafter by mail. There are 101 charter members who received pins. At the same time we ordered these pins, we ordered some extra pins with the SPMC logo, only without the "Charter Member" desig- nation. We sold some of these at Memphis, and still have some pins left. They are $5.00 each, plus 50C postage. Send a check made out to SPMC to: Steve Whitfield, SPMC Awards Chairman P.O. Box 1122 Omaha, Nebraska 68101 The artwork for the SPMC logo was done several years ago by Brent H. Hughes (SPMC #7), who now lives in South Caro- lina. Brent was an exhibit designer for the FBI, and has au- thored many articles on paper money and is also well known for the slide programs he has produced. He is a former member of the Board of Governors of the SPMC. SPMC BOARD MEMBERS ELECTED The following members were elected to 3-year terms to the SPMC Board of Governors. We apologize for any inconven- ience about the notation on the ballots that they would be counted in Memphis (this could not have been possible) —but they were counted at the ANA Convention in Milwaukee, and the results are: SPMC GOVERNORS Dean Oakes 295 Wendell Wolka 272 Tom Denly 259 Roger H. Durand 252 Charles Colver 246 The votes received by the other candidates were: Nelson Page Aspen 238 Robert Cochran 211 Bernard Schaaf 181 Roman L. Latimer 133 Nancy Wilson withdrew A total of 560 votes were received. DUES NOTICE - 1987 You will find your dues notice for 1987 enclosed with this issue. Please take a moment now to send in your dues. Starting in 1987 the annual dues are $20. Your cooperation in renewing prompty will minimize the cost of sending "second notice' . state- ments. • Please pay your dues promptly. • Fill out and keep your 1987 membership card with your name and the year 1987. Your membership number ap- pears on your mailing envelope. • Check the mailing label and make any necessary cor- rections. It is also important that you notify the secretary promptly of any change of address, as returns by the Postal Service are costly and result in delays in the receipt of your magazine. • Send 1987 dues check and completed notice to: Bob Cochran, SPMC Secretary P.O. Box 1085 Florissant, MO 63031 Page 198 Award Winners and Speakers at Milwaukee — ANA The following received awards for their paper money exhibits in the specified categories.

Mueller, former PAPER MONEY editor, spoke with the aid of slides on the relationship of bank notes and stamps. In the Numismatic Theatre, the following gentlemen spoke on a variety of paper money subjects: Douglas B. Ball, Gene Hessler, Chet Krause, Milton J. Seidel, Neil Shafer and Robert A. Vlack.

From the sale of books, ABN Co. Sheets and 25th anniversary pins, just under $1,000 was added to our treasury. New Literature SAN FRANCISCO CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES, LAST OF CALIFORNIA'S PRIVATE MONEY by Robert J. Chandler; published by McDonald Publishing, P.O. Box 20443, Reno, NV 89515; 1986, 32 pp., softcover, $3.95 postpaid. All you wanted to know about this subject, and then some, is packed into this monograph. During the financial panic of 1907, the San Francisco Clear- ing House (SFCH) issued a huge number of "certificates" which have come to be considered as the last issue of true "private money" in the state. All eight types of SFCH Certificates are il- lustrated with complete, detailed descriptions. The last pamphlet on the subject, published in 1909, is re- printed here. The list of Clearing House Members and a sug- gested reading list is included. As sketchy as it might be, there is a considerable amount of history of the use of gold and paper money in San Francisco. Robert Chandler has done a thorough job of covering the subject in this easy-to-read monograph. (ed.) Paper Money Whole No. 125 RECRUITMENT REPORT John Wilson 21 Wendell Wolka 9 Richard J.

Wth 31 sales behind us, we look forward to a great 1986-87 for all currency collectors as well as our Sealed mail bid and floor auctions. We have had the pleasure of selling several great notes during the past year with prices going over $30,000. Currency collecting is alive and well.
