Deak Bank Has Doubled Deposits In Three Years Shareholders of Deak Na tional bank of Fleischmanns were told Monday resources of the bank had reached in excess of $10 million in the third quar ter of 1972, an increase of more than 66 per cent over the first three quarters of 1971 and 100 per cent over a comparable period three years ago. Speaking before the bank’s first informal meeting of share holders at the Alpine Inn in Oliverea, Romayn Heyler, vice president, seiid deposits by the third quarter were $8 million, compared to $6 million Sept. 30, 1971, and $3 million in 1969. Mr. Heyler attributed the growth in number of accounts largely to families moving to this area from the city and to use of the bank’s services by residents of the metropoli tan New York area. He said that the bank had 4,000 ac counts on Sept. 30, compared to 2,500 a year ago and 2,000 three years ago. “Loans outstanding increased by 25 per cent to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 1972, compared to $2 million last year and each of the preceding three years,” Mr. Heyler noted. Clarence E. Tobias Jr., chair man of the bank’s board of directors, pointed to growth in number of foreign accounts as being substantial. He added, “We are one of the few small country banks in the United States wdth a large number of accounts from all over the world. “Large banks, with depart ments, branches and affiliates abroad, average about 10 per cent of their assets from for eign accounts. We average 15 per cent from overseas and this includes deposits from several major foreign banks,” Mr. Tobias said. The chairman estimated that the New York city segmoit of the bank’s business accounts for 35 per cent of the deposits, surrounding communities in the Fleischmanns area account for 30 per cent, and Fleischmanns, itself, 20 per cent. In another statement, Mr. Tobias told shareholders that in all likelihood, the practice of declaring a stock dividend will be continued for calendar year 1972. Shares in Deak National bank are traded over-the- counter. Nicholas L. Deak, president, reviewed the bank’s expansion this year, including its acquisi tion of two Main street build ings adjacent to its present quarters in Fleischmanns, its plans to open larger offices and to build a drive-in facility. Projecting, Mr. Deak said, “If D6ak Nationcd bank con tinues its growth by half its present rate, resources w ill reach $ ^ million in five years; $62 m illion in 10 years and $155 milMon in 15 years.” He esti mated that it would take 42 tellers to handle this amount of business, compared to the present four.
