H. Etherly Questions have been asked about how the depositors who are members or stockholder of the Mutual Standard Security Company will be helped by cooperating with the Security Company. Because of quite a deal of misunderstanding, unfavorable comment, and misleading statements, the depositors who have not allied themselves with the organization are entitled to know the advantages and how they will receive more under the organization plan than they will by the present plan of liquidation. The Mutual Standard Security Company is simply all of the depositors--all of those who have money on deposit in the Mutual Standard Bank--joined together in a legal way to take over everything that is left of the bank all the assets, real estate, mortgages, note, calateral and money on hand or in the possession of the present liquidating agents. The Depositors will then elect a Board of Directors to take charge of the assets and elect or select a depositor, or a number of depositors if neccessary, to take charge of the assets and proceed to collect all notes, all mortgages, all debts owed the bank. and sell all real estate the bank owns, when the right price can be secured. Every six months an accounting is to be made and a report sent or given each depositor. If enough has been collected at the end of each or any six months, a dividend is to be declared and each depositor is to receive his proportion of the amount on hand. This process is to be continued until all the assets have been disposed of and money that can be collected has been collected and distributed. If enough is collected you will get every dollar you have on deposit in the bank. You want to know how this plan will help you. It is conceded and proved by experience that any respectable colored man can handle the affairs of the Mutual Standard Bank better, more efficiently, and more profitable than (Continued on page 4)
