To Batiks and Trust Companies in the

This edition of the directory of this Bank follows the design of
the directory we sent you in November 1954, which is now superseded.
The directory shows the functions, the departm ents and divisions

changes in their titles occurring between this and the next edition will
be shown in supplements to, or revisions of, our Operating Circular
No. 1, entitled “ Authorized Signatures.”
R egular use of this directory will enable you to direct your com­
munications to the proper officers of this Bank and to the departments
and divisions under their supervision. We suggest you keep it handy
for th at purpose.
We will be pleased to furnish additional copies upon request.




A lfred H a y es,
