To the Member Banks o f the

An election will be held under the provisions o f Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act to choose
successors to the following directors o f this bank whose terms expire December 31, 1947:
Class A director - Mr. J. E. Woods, Chairman of Board

Class B director - Mr. W. F. Beall, President and General Manager
3 Beall Brothers 3, Department Stores
Jacksonville, Texas
The Class A director will be elected by banks in Group 2, and the Class B director by banks in
Group 3. The banks in Group 1 do not elect a director this year. Group 1 consists o f banks having
capital and surplus in excess of $499,000; Group 2 consists of hanks with capital and surplus not
exceeding $499,000 and not less than $100,000; and Group 3 consists of banks having capital and
surplus of less than $100,000. Lists of banks comprising Groups 2 and 3 are given on the following
pages.
Each bank in Group 2 is permitted to nominate a candidate fo r Class A director and each bank
in Group 3 a candidate for Class B director. The nomination must be made by resolution of the Board
o f Directors and a certified copy of the resolution must be forwarded in time to reach me on or before
October 31, 1947. A form for this purpose is enclosed. On or about November 7, 1947, a list o f candi­
dates (indicating by whom nominated) and a preferential ballot will be mailed to each bank in the
voting groups. The polls will open on November 10, 1947 and close at 2:00 p.m. on November 25,
1947 and the ballots must be executed during that period and be mailed so as to reach me before the
closing of the polls. On the last day of the voting period, the ballot box will be opened in the Board
Room of this bank, the votes counted, and the results o f the election announced. The candidates are
invited to be present or represented on that occasion.
In order to be counted, the ballot must be executed by an officer authorized by resolution o f the
Board o f Directors to cast the vote for the bank. On the following pages are shown the titles o f officers
heretofore designated for that purpose. The authority conferred on them continues until revoked. Each
bank that has not designated such an officer, or officers, or any bank that desires to change its authori­
zation, should do so by resolution of its Board of Directors and certify the appointments to me before
the polls close. A form is enclosed which may be used for either purpose. When an authorization is
made, it is preferable that designations should be by title.
While the banks in Group 1 will not vote in this election, this circular is sent to them, without
forms, for their information.
Yours very truly,
J. R. P a r t e n
Chairman of the Board
