Where a branch is established in the former location of a financial institution not considered a bank in the Board's published banking statistics, and where a branch is established in the former location of the head office when the head office has been moved to a location where banking services were not previously performed, such branches will continue to be classified as "de novo". Any branch established after consolidation, absorption, etc., whether established in the former location of the discontinued bank, or in the former location of the head office of the continuing bank when the head office has been moved to the former location of a discontinued bank will be classified as a conversion of a bank into a branch. Heretofore, a branch established in the former location of the continuing bank after such a move has been classified as 11 de novo". As a result of this changed procedure, branch statistics, beginning with 1955, will be inconsistent with prior years to the extent that such cases have been classified as de novoin prior years (6 in 195U, h in 1953, and 3 in the preceding eight years). 5 - Name and location of banks and branches Class of bank Date of change Branches established de novo (Cont*d) (Includes branches at military and other Government establishments) Twin Falls, Idaho National Fidelity National Bank Twin Falls, Idaho Motor Branch 2- 7-55 Twin Falls County 132 Third Avenue East Progressive Bank & Trust Co.
