The trend of State bank membership in the Fourth Federal Reserve District continues upward. During the calendar year 1941, seventeen State chartered institutions became members of the System. The resources of State banks in the Fourth District constitute more than fifty per cent of all banking resources in that territory, and State bank members have aggregate resources more than double those of nonmember State banks. Through membership in the Federal Reserve System, the services rendered by correspondent banks may be augmented to a point which will permit banks to offer to their customers every possible banking service.
