Washington, D. C., May 1, 1903.
Whereas, By satisfactory evidence presented to the
undersigned, it has been made to appear that “THE FIRST
NATIONAL BANK OF NEWPORT,” located in the City of
Newport, in the County of Jackson and State of Arkansas, has
complied with all the provisions of the Statutes of the United
States, required to be complied with before an association shall
be authorized to commence the Business of Banking;
Now Therefore, I, Thomas P. Kane, Deputy and Acting
Comptroller of the Currency, do hereby, certify that “THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NEWPORT” located in the
City of Newport, in the County of Jackson and State of Ark
ansas, is authorized to commence the business of Banking as pro
vided in Section Fifty-one hundred and sixty-nine of the Re

This Bank has an authorized
CAPITAL of $100,000.00.
Ah authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient tiling—
good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest, .
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We
could have had, just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
1500,000. It would not have cost us one cent more.
What our patrons are really interested in knowing is, this
Bank has invested in its business, of ITS OWN MONE^
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and iundvided
profits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL BE PAID IN as soon as we believe it can be safely
and profitably invested.
