MNB Senior Vice President
on “The importance
of creative
thinking in
correspondent
banking.”

"The challenge of developing more ef­
ficient methods in correspondent
banking is greater than ever. That's
why at Merchants National Bank, we
encourage our correspondent bankers
to develop new and better ways of
handling Overlines and Liquidity
Loans. That's why we offer time­
saving services like the 24-Hour
Transit Service and more efficient ap­
proaches to Federal Funds Purchase
and Sales and Bond Purchasing and
Safekeeping.
"At MNB, we expect originality and
we encourage innovation. In cor­

respondent banking, as in any
dynamic business, creative thinking
blends vision with experience for a
better product. And by aggressively
seeking new perspectives, we believe
we'll find the best ways to serve our
respondent banks and their
customers.
Talk to one of MNB's creative corre­
spondent bankers, soon. Call John E.
Mangold, Terry M. Martin, Stan R.
Farmer, or Jerry N. Trudo. Just dial

Would the real Portfolio Advisor
please stand up?

¿

c

Is that portfolio advisor
giving you advice? Or pushing
bonds for your portfolio? Some
banks send out people who keep
you guessing.
At Continental w e don’t
believe in guessing games. We
offer our correspondents a portfolio
advisor who really is an advisor.
This consultant has no axe to
grind. Because he’s not paid on the
basis of bond commissions. H e’s
paid by you, for totally objective
advice. And he’s got the freedom
to give it.
What does this portfolio
professional do? Well, he or she will
take a long hard look at your
unique situation. Your assets.
Your liabilities. Your tax
management. And then he’ll
help you develop strategies that
maximize your bottom line.
It’s like hiring a part-time
employee with full-time money
center experience. Of course, he’ll
analyze opportunities with you.
And make recommendations.
But you make the final decisions.
If you just want to hear
a sales pitch, wait for the
salesman to call on you. If you
want to hear sound advice,
call Robert C. Vasko at (312)
828-4046. H e’ll put you in touch with
a portfolio advisor who lives up to
the name.

Imagine getting only bare walls
when, for the sam e price,
you could have had a
beautifully built, elegantly
furnished bank.
“ It just about happened to us,”
says Henry Kinberger, president of
Security 1st National Bank, in
Alexandria, Louisiana.
“ We listened to not one, but a
number of proposals for an important
building project for our bank. One
from an architect, another from a
leading plan-design-build firm. Both
would have offered us far less than
the solution we got from HBE.”

“A lot more value for
the dollar.”
“ Instead of remodeling our old
building, HBE showed us how we
could build a brand-new building
that would be much more functional,
for about the same cost, on the same
site, without any interruption of
business. And the HBE price included
a spectacularly beautiful, finished
interior, not just bare walls.”

“Other bankers couldn’t
believe how much we got
for the price.”
“ When many of our banker
friends visited us, they were amazed.
One of them said, ‘I came here
expecting to be disappointed. I can’t
believe my eyes.’ ”
“ What they saw were things like
floor-to-ceiling solid-oak doors,
marble floors, really nice furniture
and the like. All included at the
square-foot price they thought would
have been bare walls only.”

“They didn’t try to
boss us around.”
“We enjoyed an excellent working
relationship throughout the project.
HBE listened to our thoughts and
responded to what we wanted to do.
There was never any attempt to
impose formulas or rigid sets of ideas
on us. And we liked that.”

“Everything about it works
better for us.”
“ We have such nice touches as
an exceptionally fine heating and air
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

conditioning system with a lot of
zone controls and real energy savings.
Better departmental and work flow
arrangements. And an employees’
patio on our drive-in roof. All the site
work was included, too. So was
demolition of our old building. Even
vault and security equipment. Plus
new sidewalks, fountains, and so on.
And throughout, HBE stayed with us,
directing all phases and weeding out
anything that proved inefficient.”

Practically no work
change orders.
Security 1st was so satisfied that
work change orders amounted to only
a tiny fraction of the industry average.
Better planning, closer personal
attention, and a more careful, more
concerned, more thoroughly pro­
fessional approach throughout made
the difference. A difference we feel
you can see in every HBE project,
whether bank, savings and loan or
credit union.
Stories like this are not just
once-in-a while happenings at HBE.
We make them happen all the time.
It’s our specialty, our point of difference,
our pride. We’d like to start making
things happen for you. Find out more.

R apid transit.
Speed. It’s the essential ingredient of intelligent
movement of money. It’s also why more correspondents choose
the rapid transit system at Commerce.
Our day starts with
balance reporting at 5:00 A.M.
By 9:00, we’re on the phone
with customers, advising them
of how much money is immedi­
ately available for investment
and how much is deferred. Same
day available balance reporting coupled with timely information
on previous day’s ending ledger balance enables correspondents
to manage their funds position accurately and maximize profits.
What’s more, we handle exception items, exceptionally fast.
Other banks take weeks to get return items back to you. Our
unique post office box and special zip code allow us to handle these
items quicker. Fast turnaround on return items means less float as
well as minimal risk of embarrassment and loss.
In addition, we have a special problem-solving team for cash
letter adjustments. Our Special Adjustment Staff (S.A.S.) pays quick
attention to your problems. If an error has been made in the checks
sent to us for clearing, this special team quickly catches the error
and adjusts the correspondent for the proper amount. Large dollar
adjustments receive immediate priority.
Rapid transit at Commerce adds up to the best availability
schedule around. If you’d like to plug into our rapid transit system,

with Homeseller: Insured Seller Financing.
Over 60% of all homes sold today involve some
form of seller financing. It is estimated that these
sales will soar from $80 billion in 1982 to $120
billion by 1986.

A new lender profit opportunity.
The trend to seller financing has kept many
buyers and sellers out of your institution. M G lCs
Homeseller is designed to bring them back and

• Increase your origination and
servicing income

loans
• Cross-sell your other financial services
• Strengthen your Realtor relationships
• Maintain your image as an innovative,
progressive financial institution
And Homeseller is being offered exclusively
through our traditional customers, the
professional mortgage lenders.

Great appeal for seller financers.
In their eagerness to make a sale, many home
sellers provide their buyers with financing without
considering the risks and paperwork involved.
Until now, they have been unable to get
insurance protection against default and few
seller financers understand the complexities of
originating and servicing a home loan.

Homeseller is a perfect answer to these problems.
With promotional assistance from MGIC, you can
attract seller financers by offering these
Homeseller benefits:
• MGIC's Homeseller mortgage guaranty
insurance

1 1 1 IT H the difference betw een banks and other fiV V nancial institutions becoming increasingly blurred
by degregulation, m any banks across the nation are
turn in g in increasing num bers to an em phasis on tra m ­
m ing and sales m arketing skills. In keeping w ith rapid
advances in technology, they are using videotape and
television to tra in and inform their employees so they
can do a b e tte r job of selling bank products and ser­
vices. Obviously, the goal of all this effort is to increase
m profitability, as well as m arket share.
The rapid developm ent of new products and services
by innovative bankers requires a constant upgrading
of this training, m aking the use of m odern technology
a boon companion for quick training.
£
A recent e n tra n t into this field of developing and
m arketing video training films for banks is Bankers
Video Service. I t is an offshoot of Videa, Inc., founded
in Cedar Rapids in 1975. The p arent firm has been in
the business of developing and producing training and
0 m arketing films for business and in dustry for seven
y ears—doing TV spots for advertising agencies and
working directly w ith custom ers on m arketing and
training films.
W ith the proliferation of new bank products in the
d)iindustry’s efforts to offer com petitive instrum ents
w ith non-financial firms which have been offering
interest-free alternatives to bank custom ers, Videa
spun off its section dealing w ith the banking industry
and six m onths ago formed B ankers Video Service.
• Michael Kaldenberg, who had joined Videa in 1980,
was nam ed president of the company, and headquar­
ters in Iow a’s capital city.
B ankers Video works directly w ith banks, operating
independently from Videa, which does all the produc• tion work for program s generated by and required by
B ankers Video and its bank custom ers.
“ Our goal,” says Mr. Kaldenberg, “is to develop
m arketing and training m aterials to aid banks in com­
peting for their m arket share. For example, we offer a
• series of teller training video films, such as cross­
selling, training and IRA s. O ther films m ight be direc­
ted to officers for selling commercial accounts. Some
are aim ed a t bank supervisory and m anagem ent skills,
sales skills and calling skills.
•
“ To assist us in identifying those areas of g reatest
im portance to bankers on a tim ely basis so they can

m eet com petition head-on, we have formed a Bankers
A dvisory Board. These owner-executives are in the
forefront of the com petitive race and can tell us exactly
w hat is needed for their banks to innovate and lead, or
to react w ith products if necessary.”
Bankers Video personnel offer the unique com bina­
tion of bank experience as well as video production ex­
perience. “ Our personnel,” Mr. Kaldenberg notes,
“ have a combined to ta l of more th an 100 years of pro­
fessional banking experience, as well as their m arket­
ing and educational sales training experience. W hen
custom er banks or the Bankers A dvisory Board m eet
w ith our staff they don’t have to stop and ‘rebuild the
wheel’ so far as m aking sure we understand banking
term inology and procedures—our staff has already
been there, so we can cut rig h t to the heart of the bank­
ing problem or new product they wish to discuss.”
Bankers Video will assist any bank in obtaining the
right kind of equipm ent for showing of the training
films. I t has the availability for obtaining Panasonic’s
basic system , which consists of a recorder/player and
H itachi color m onitor, or a more advanced Panasonic
record/player and a higher model H itachi color
m onitor.
“ The m ain po in t,” Mr. K aldenberg notes, “is th a t
employes a t any level have the ability, through video,
to experience a hands-on operating procedure or sales
technique. Ideally, these training sessions will be con­
ducted in a smaller group of no more th an a half-dozen.
Some can be used on a one-to-one basis. The m ain point
is th a t through professionally produced video training
films based on the specifications of bankers who know
w hat the m arket place requires, personal training can
be given by the m ost m odern of techniques to every
concerned employee in a bank. Bottom-line profits de­
pend on each m em ber of the bank producing to the best
of his or her ability. To the extent th a t this video tra in ­
ing can increase th a t productivity and profit, banks
will find an im provem ent in their profit by utilizing
this m odern m ethod.”
From its s ta rt in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines,
Bankers Video now has established m arketing offices
in M inneapolis, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines and
plans to open other m ajor city offices soon, Mr. Kal­
denberg said.

for one-bank holding
company debt

N December of 1980, the N o r t h ­
w estern
B anker

N e w sle tte r
I
reported on a bizarre IR S a tta ck on

one bank holding com pany form a­
tions. This article follows up on the
IR S ’ position and discusses subse­
quent developm ents as well as a
general background on the income
tax aspects of form ing one bank
holding companies. Generally, for­
m ation of a one bank holding com­
pany involves the following cir­
cum stances. A group of people own
the stock of a bank. Some of the
stock is pledged as collateral on
loans used to acquire the stock. The
bank stock is transferred to a newly
formed holding company in ex­
change for stock and/or securities of
th e holding com pany and th e
holding com pany assum es some or
all of the debt against the bank
stock.
In determ ining the tax treatm ent
of such a transaction, it appears th a t
two sections of the Internal Revenue
Code could be applied w ith conflict­
ing results. Generally, the transfer
of property to a corporation con­
trolled by the transferors in ex­
change for stock is tax free p ursuant
to Section 351. The exchange re­

m ains tax free even if the transferee
corporation assum es debt of the
transferors provided, generally, th a t
the debt does not exceed the tax
basis of the transferred property
and th a t a business purpose exists
for the debt assum ption. These rules
would seem to allow a person or
group of persons who own the stock
of a bank to transfer th a t stock to a
newly formed holding company in
exchange for stock controlling the
holding com pany w ithout a taxable
event, even if the holding company
assum es debt incurred to buy the
stock of the bank.
N otw ith stan d in g the rule de­
scribed above, another provision,
Section 304, m ay be read as also ap­
plying to the transaction w ith the
result th a t the debt assum ption or
the later liquidation of the debt by
the holding company, m ay be tre a t­
ed as a dividend to the individual
shareholders of the holding com­
pany.
1RS Ruling Inconsistent
The Internal Revenue Service rul­
ing position on w hether such a tra n ­
saction would fall under Section 351
or Section 304 has been inconsis-

tent. A t tim es an informal “ no rul-*
in g ’’ policy has been in effect. The
refusal of the IR S to rule on a p ar­
ticular transaction does not, of
course, establish th a t Section 351
does not apply, or even th a t the IRS*
believes th a t Section 351 does not
apply. Nevertheless, a refusal to rule
does serve to p u t a taxpayer on no­
tice th a t the ta x effect of the tra n ­
saction m ight be challenged upon*
exam ination. Revenue Procedure
80-34, issued Septem ber 8, 1980,
sta te s the IR S ’ position a t th a t tim e
to be th a t they will no longer rule on
the tax result of form ing a one bank
holding com pany unless the ta x ­
payers: (1) can satisfy the IR S th a t
the liabilities assum ed by the
holding com pany were incurred b y .
the individual shareholders of the
holding com pany as mere in ter­
m ediary a g e n ts for the newly
created one bank holding company;
(2) m ust subm it to the Internal {
Revenue Service docum ented evi­
dence, composed a t the tim e the
liability was incurred, which in­
dicates th a t the unrelated lender
had agreed to release the transferor- <
borrowers from any and all obliga­
tions on the liability in favor of the
holding company; and (3) m ust
show, or represent, to the Internal
Revenue Service th a t the transfer (
and assum ption of debt by the hold­
ing com pany actually occurred or
will actually occur w ithin twelve
m onths of the date the debt was in­
curred.
{
IRS Opts for Strictness
A pparently, the IR S N ational Of­
fice policy will be to in terp ret the
Revenue Procedure m ost strictly in
deciding w hether or not to issue a <
ruling. However, Dunlap vs Comm.,
74 T.C. No. 104, 9/24/80, recognized
an agency relationship between a
holding com pany and certain of its
shareholders in circum stances where i
3 years had transpired between the
purchase of the banks stock and ac­
tual transfer of the stock to the
holding company. Thus, taxpayers
who previously formed one bank <
holding companies, or would like to
do so, w ithout a favorable advance
ruling, should reassess their posi­
tion. I t m ay be possible to establish
an agency relationship betw een the (
holding com pany and its share­
holders w ith respect to acquisition
of the bank. If th a t is not possible, a
review of the application of Sections
351 and 304 to the form ation of the *
holding com pany is in order.

21

“Thus, taxpayers who previously formed one bank holding companies, or
would like to do so, without advance ruling, should reassess their position.”
I There is split of au th o rity be­
tween the Sixth Circuit on one hand
and the E ig h th and N inth Circuits
on the other hand on the question of
w hether Section 351 or Section 304
^ h a s precedence. The Sixth Circuit
holds th a t Section 351 has pre­
cedence, while the E ig h th (which in­
cludes Iowa) and N inth Circuits hold
th a t Section 304 has precedence.
)The M aher case, F2d 225 (CA-8,
1973), involved the assum ption of
debt as to which the shareholder re­
m ained secondarily liable in connec­
tion w ith the transfer of one corpora­
t io n to the other. The E ig h th Circuit
held th a t the corporation’s paym ent
of principal and in terest on the
assum ed debt was a distribution
tax a b le as a dividend to the
^shareholder. In Coates Trust, 480
F2d 468 (CA-9, 1973), issuance of in­
stallm ent notes by one corporation
to the shareholders of th a t corpora­
tion in exchange for the stock of
lanother corporation constituted a
distribution taxable as a dividend to
the exchanging shareholders. In
Fehrs Finance Company, 58 TC 174
(1972), aff'd, 73-2 USTC 9767 (8th
►Cir), the m easure of the dividend
was specifically lim ited to the earn­
ings and profits of the acquiring cor­
poration which was newly formed
and had no earnings and profits.
^ The Fehrs case suggests th a t the
potential application of Section 304
to the form ation of a holding com­
pany can be m itigated by carefully
stru ctu rin g the transaction. If Sec­
t i o n 304 applies, the M aher case
holds th a t the transferring share­
holders will be deemed to receive a
distribution taxable as a dividend as
and when the holding company pays
*in terest or liquidates principal on
the indebtedness as to which they
rem ain secondarily liable. On the
other hand, the Coates T rust case
.s u g g e s ts th a t the distribution is
* deemed to occur when the holding
com pany assum es the indebtedness
if the transferring shareholders re­
tain no liability. The Fehrs case
I establishes th a t a distribution, if
any results from the transaction, is
treated as a dividend to the extent of
the earnings and profits of the hold­
ing company.

Significance of Timing
The significance of the tim e a t

https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

which the distribution is deemed to
occur is th a t Section 304 provides
(and Fehrs confirm s) th a t th e
distribution is deemed to come
“ solely” from the acquiring (holding
co m p an y ) c o rp o ra tio n . If th e
holding com pany has no earnings
and profits, the distribution should
not be treated as a dividend, but
rather, as a retu rn of capital dis­
tribution which should have no
negative ta x im pact on the incor­
porators of the holding company. If
a consolidated retu rn is filed, the
earnings and profits of the subsid­
iary bank will be deemed to create
earnings and profits in the holding
com pany. H ow ever, if a con­
solidated retu rn is not filed and if
the holding com pany has no other
income, the holding com pany should
have no earnings and profits from
which to pay a dividend. Therefore,
if the transferring shareholders do
not rem ain secondarily liable on the
debt, so th a t the distribution (if any)
is deemed to occur in a separate re­
tu rn filed for the year the holding
company is formed, such d istribu­
tion should be treated as a retu rn of
capital distribution. U nder this view
of the law, the holding com pany and
the bank should be able to file con­
solidated retu rn s in the future w ith

“Neither of these two
new IRS theories have
any merit as a matter of
law.”
bank dividends to the holding com­
pany being used to liquidate prin­
cipal and interest on the debt of the
holding company w ithout a dividend
to the shareholders being deemed to
have occurred.
U nfortunately, the difficulties do
not end here since the IR S was con­
sidering issuing a Revenue Ruling
before the end of 1980. Presum ably
under this proposed Revenue Ruling
a bank was purchased a num ber of
years ago by a group of individuals
w ith funds borrowed from a third
p a r t y b a n k (“ a c q u is itio n in ­
debtedness” ). In order to expand its
banking business a new corporation
(“ holding com pany”) was created
and the individuals transferred the
bank stock to the holding company

in exchange for all of the holding
company stock and the assum ption
by the holding company of the ac­
quisition of the indebtedness. Subse­
quently, over a num ber of years, the
holding company was to repay the
loan w ith dividends from the bank
or other earnings of the holding com­
pany. The proposed ruling was to
have concluded th a t the share­
holders received a dividend as a
resu lt of the holding com pany
a s s u m p tio n of a c q u is itio n in ­
debtedness. The am ount of the divi­
dend was to be m easured by the
earnings and profits of the bank.
The purported theory for this con­
clusion is th a t Section 304 of the In­
ternal Revenue Code applies to the
transaction and the earnings and
profits of both the bank and the
holding company were to be used to
com pute the dividend. An alternate
theory was th a t the holding com­
pany assum ption of the indebt­
edness is tan tam o u n t to a cash
distribution from the bank under a
theory of agency.
N either of these two new IRS
theories have any m erit as a m atter
of law. This issue arises only
because persons who buy banks,
unlike buyers of nonregulated com­
panies, can seldom structure the
transaction so th a t the acquisition
can be m ade directly by the holding
company. Clear and substantial au­
th o rity supports a favorable result
of a properly structured transaction.
No abuse of the stru ctu re or the in­
te n t of ta x law results from an inter­
pretation th a t is favorable to this
transaction. Rather, such an inter­
p reta tio n would facilitate valid
business transactions of consid­
erable im portance to the banking
com m unity, and, therefore, the
economy of the U nited States.
Various organizations, including
the Am erican B ankers A ssociation
and the Independent Bankers A sso­
ciation of America have asked the
IR S to reconsider the m atter, or, a t
least, to m ake the application of the
proposed ruling effective only for fu­
tu re tran sactio n s. C ontem poran­

MGIC survey reports:

Regional mortgage lenders will
offer consumers broader choices

O T EN TIA L hom ebuyers in ten
P
N orthern Central sta te s will
see a shift in the types of m ortgage
instrum ents being offered to them in
the m onths ahead. By mid-1982,

in g p r o g r a m s
w ill be m o re
closely aligned
w ith o n -g o in g
co n su m er co n ­
cerns and the
general m arket
outlook, accord­
ing to a recent
survey by M ort­
J.W. REICHERT
gage G u aran ty
Insurance Corporation, Milwaukee.
The survey of N orth Central
m ortgage lenders was conducted as
p a rt of a nationwide study designed
to track changes in the m ortgage
lending environm ent. Conducted in
late 1981, M G IC ’s survey identifies
changing p a tte rn s in m ortgage pro­
gram s throughout the country and
projects the future mix of m ortgage
instrum ents likely to be offered in
the m onths ahead. The N orth Cen­
tral geographic survey region in­
volved lenders from Illinois, W iscon­
sin, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, M in­
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, N orth and
South Dakota.
“ The m ajor findings indicate th a t
lenders feel it is necessary to balance
some of the consum er risks typically
associated w ith ad ju stab le rate
m ortgage instrum ents (ARMS),”
said Jam es W. Reichert, senior vice
president and N orth C entral divi­
sion m anager of M GIC. “ While the
original adjustable m ortgage pro­
gram s were aim ed to m eet lender
rat her th an borrower — concerns,
priorities are now shifting to reflect
to d ay ’s b uyers’ m ark et.”
87% to Offer ARMs
In the N orth C entral region, 87%
of all lenders say they will be offer­
ing some type of adjustable m ort­
gage program by June, 1982, an in­
crease of 25 percentage points as of
late 1981.

Northwestern Banker, August, 1982
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

The results reflect projected na­
tional activity which indicates an
overall increase to an 86% utiliza­
tion of adjustable rate m ortgage in­
stru m en ts. Furtherm ore, lenders
project a greater reliance on m ulti­
ple m ortgage plans th an in the past.
The num ber of lending institutions
offering a single m ortgage plan is
expected to decline 24% by mid 1982, down from alm ost half offer­
ing single plans last fall. Of those
planning to employ m ultiple plans,
31% indicated a preference for a
com bination of the adjustable rate
m ortgage (ARM), fixed rate m ort­
gage and balloon m ortgage.
Mr. Reichert noted th a t currently,
regional lenders appear to be in the
m idst of revising balloon m ortgage
plans, m aking them rate sensitive
instrum ents and guaranteeing their
renewal. Developm ent of balloons
shows m ovem ent tow ard lengthier
m ortgages w ith an increased utiliza­
tion of indexing. More im portantly,
while close to one-fifth of all lenders
currently offer a policy to guarantee
refinancing, more th an one-half plan
to offer such a guarantee on balloons
by mid-1982.
Fixed Rate Mortgages
D espite these changes, the fixed
rate m ortgage is expected to retain a
significant portion of to tal m ortgage
activity. Responses indicate th a t
43% of lenders plan to continue of­
fering fixed rate m ortgages through
June, 1982, com pared to 55% na­
tionwide. Only 3% of these regional
lenders, however, will offer the fixed
rate m ortgage as a single plan.
“ Obviously, no single m ortgage
instrum ent will dom inate m arket ac­
tiv ity in the near term ,” Mr.
Reichert said. “ While the fixed rate
m ortgage will play a key role, ad­
ju stab le rate m ortgage program s
are expected to comprise 37% of the
to tal loan origination volume com­
pared w ith 42% of volume for the
traditional fixed rate. Balloon m ort­
gages will m ake up the rem aining
21 % .”

“ The survey suggests th a t th e#
m arketplace is settling som ew hat as
lenders strive to balance their needs
w ith w hat local area consum ers will
accept,” Mr. Reichert explained.
“ C haracteristics of lending p r o #
gram s are changing as lenders pay
greater atten tio n to borrower con­
cerns and costs in designing new
m ortgage in stru m e n ts.”
L ast spring, short-term volatility#
a n d f l u c t u a t i o n in m o n th ly
paym ents under ARM plans were
the m ajor custom er concerns seen
by 30% of the natio n ’s lenders. A t
th a t time, the m ajority of l e n d e r ^
preferred semi-annual and annual
paym ent rate adjustm ents.

rate mortgages by lenders in north

cond quarter 1982. The second chart

gages (ARMs) in the same areas and
the same periods.

By late 1981, lenders identified^

m ent changes as the m ajor concerns
of ARM lending. Lenders now prefer

m ents to coordinate w ith the m ost
common tim ing of household com­
pensation changes. And, only 32%
intend to allow negative am ortiza­
tion in ARM program s by m id-1982#
The more stable Federal Home Loan
Bank board average m ortgage con­
tra c t rate is now the m ost typical in­
dex used for those adjustm ents.
“ The forces of supply and dem and#
and com petition in the m arketplace
are working to help lenders m eet the

E ach of the seven 9 ” x 16” new spaper ads features a

The seven 60-second radio commercials utilize Jack

the same bank employe is featured in the radio com­

Perhaps it’s happened to you.
Just when you had built up a
working relationship with your
correspondent banker, the
bank moved him up the corporate
ladder and off your business.
All too often, a large bank
can be insensitive to the needs of
small respondent banks. Yet
smaller banks that can give you
plenty of personal attention can’t
always give you the expertise
and the clout you need. And
you’re caught in the middle.
You do, however, have an
alternative: Midland National

Bank. We’re big enough to
handle any of your correspondent
banking needs. But we’re still
small enough to respond to your
individual concerns.
We’ve deliberately kept
our Correspondent Division

directly with a decision maker.
Each of our correspondent
bankers has from 12 to 25 years
of experience in the business,
so they thoroughly understand
the needs of respondent banks.
They take the time to personally
call on both the respondent bank
and the respondent’s customers.
If you’re tired of banks
that are too large or too small,
come to Midland Bank.
You’ll develop a close working
relationship with one of our
correspondent bankers. Not one
after another.

We’re big enough to know how and small enough to know you.

NDBA School of Banking
Graduates Announced
Bank Makes Hospitals More
“ Bear-able” for Youngsters
A B ism arck bank is m aking
hospital stay s for preschoolers much
more “ bear-able.”
The “ M ake H ospitals Bear-A ble”
program sta rte d w ith Bism arck
S tate B ank giving hospitalized pre­
schoolers a small, colorful bear. The
gesture is growing into the b a n k ’s
m ost successful com m unity re ­
lations program yet.
Young children can be terrified by
the new, strange surroundings of a
hospital. For parents, there are few
tim es as stressful and em otionally
draining as the occasions when their
young child m ust be hospitalized for
illness, surgery or accident. Any
genuine act of kindness, such as pro­
viding hospitalized preschoolers
w ith a cheerful toy, has a powerful,
lasting im pact on this em otional en­
vironm ent.
“ This was the perfect opportunity
for our bank to display its peopleoriented philosophy. A fter all, bank­
ing is a people business,” says M y­
ron Pfeifle, president of Bism arck
S tate Bank.
Joseph Hauer, a bank director
and a lay m em ber of one hospital
board, discovered the idea. A work­
able program was devised and
presented to both hospitals.
Initially, one hospital com m unity
relations director was reluctant to
discuss pediatrics enrollm ent a t her
hospital. However, after seeing the
bears and the program itself, she
became very receptive to the idea.
Deb Albrecht, pediatrics activity
coordinator a t St. Alexius H ospital,
also has only positive com m ents
about the program .
“ The children love the b ears,” she
says. “ We hear real positive com­
m ents from parents, too.”
Mr. Pfeifle says, “ N ot only does
the program create good will w ith
parents, it has also created good will
between our bank and the staffs at
both hospitals. The response has
been very positive from the children,

more brought in a t once. T hat was
still M onday, June 2 1 .
On Saturday, Ju n e 26, ju s t four
working days later, F irst N ational
had its tem porary facility w ith three
drive-up teller windows, telephone
com m unications w ith the m ain bank
and all teller facilities completely on­
line w ith the m ain bank across the
street. By Ju ly 1, the fourth day of
full business operation a t the tem ­
porary facility, authorized by the
Com ptroller of the Currency office in
K ansas City as an emergency facili­
ty, the three statio n drive-in was ser­
ving 262 cars in one day!
To alert custom ers to the avail­
ability of the new site, F irst N a­
tional d istributed flyers to custom ­
ers at the m ain bank drive-in, which
continues to operate under the same
try in g conditions, and also used
radio and television commercials ex­
tensively. A large “used car lo t”
type neon sign, as Mr. H enry de­
scribes it, and a strin g of color pen­
nants tell the public the tem porary
facility is “ O pen”—bu t it works, he
emphasizes.
“ It took a lot of work by m any
people to m ake this happen on such
short notice,” Mr. H enry recalls,
“ bu t it was needed to provide the
service our custom ers are entitled
to, and they have appreciated it.”
Mr. H enry doesn’t know until he
reads this how much work was really
involved for General B ank E quip­
m ent & System s!
Tom Sternberg disclosed th a t the
two trailer u nits he had shipped in
im m ediately from Colorado were in­
volved in a highway wreck and de­
stroyed. He got th a t news on T hurs­
day, June 24. U ndaunted, he and his
staff went to work. By Saturday,
after day and night work, the third
unit needed was completely built
from new m aterials and placed on­
site for F irst National Bank. When
asked why he didn’t tell the bank
this yeoman effort, Mr. Sternberg
said, “ It was our problem, not
theirs. Our job was to get the units
on site for them th a t day (Saturday),
so we did w hat was necessay to com­
plete the jo b .”
He did complete the job and F irst
N ational has three drive-up u nits all
on-line w ith the m ain bank, all airconditioned, and one w ith a safe,
ready to serve custom ers through­
out the rest of the street repair
period.

was broke and construction began on the new 8,500 sq. ft. building that will provide 5,500
sq. ft. of space for bank operations and 3,000 sq. ft. to be rented to professionals. The brick­
faced building was designed around the “ professional center concept” of one-stop finan­
cial services. Capped by a 16-ft. naturally-lighted atrium, the bank lobby will be fully ac­
cessible to the handicapped and feature oak trim with brass accents. The extra space will
allow for additional safety deposit boxes, a two-lane drive-up facility on the east side, night
depository, off street parking and customer conference and board rooms, with the latest

Iowa News

Russian Ag O fficial Dr. Lishchenko
To Address Iowa Bankers Convention
U SSIA N purchases of midwestern grain are back in the news
again and Iowa bankers will have an
opportunity to hear first-hand at
their annual convention in Des
Moines next m onth from the R us­
sian official who heads th a t n atio n ’s
food and agricultural departm ent.
The 96th annual IB A convention
will be held a t the M arriott H otel in
downtown Des Moines, Septem ber
19-21.
The R ussian ag expert who will
present a picture of his n atio n ’s food
needs and potential is Dr. Victor F.
Lishchenko, who heads the food and
agriculture departm ent, the In stitu te
of the USA and Canada, and the
Academ y of Science of the USSR.
Dr. Lishchenko, a well educated sci­
e n tist in his mid-40s, is a personal
friend of John Chrystal, president of
the Iowa Savings Bank, Coon R ap­
ids, who has been a guest of Dr. Lish­
chenko and the Academy a num ber
of times. W hen the IBA asked Mr.
Chrystal to invite a knowledgeable
Russian ag official, his invitation
went to to Dr. and Mrs. Lishchenko.
In describing the office held by
Dr. Lishchenko, Mr. C hrystal said,
“ The Academy is used as a tool to
aid the governm ent. I t sta rte d out
as a m eans of transferring tech­
niques throughout the Union and
advise the governm ent on actions it
should tak e .’’
In describing Dr. Lishchenko him ­
self, Mr. C hrystal said, “ Victor was
born in the famous Odessa Region
near the Black Sea. He is a v eter­
inarian and has a doctorate in ag
economics. He is especially in ter­
ested in protein for farm anim als. He
was an ag attach e to the U nited
S tates in the early 1970s, and th a t is
when I m et him. Since then, he has
been back here a couple of tim es to
Iowa and has visited a t our place
and o th ers.’’
Mr. C hrystal said Dr. Lishchenko’s wife is a biologist by pro­
fession and “ she is the only R ussian
housewife I have known who doesn’t
w ork.’’
Dr. and Mrs. Lishchenko have a
daughter who ju s t graduated from
college and a son who recently com­
pleted high school.
A fter Mr. C hrystal became ac­
R

quainted w ith Dr. Lishchenko, he
was invited to Russia as a guest of
the M inister of A griculture and the
Academy of Science a dozen times.
He describes Dr. Lishchenko as “ a
very nice man; a full-fledged Com­
m unist, b u t not a politician, and a
m an who is genuinely interested in
increasing ag production.’’

Dr. Victor F. Lishchenko (left) is shown con­
ducting Iowa banker John Chrystal on a
tour of a Russian farm.

The invitations to Mr. C hrystal
were based on his extensive exper­
ience in agriculture and as an ag
banker, as well as his association
w ith G arst Farm s. It was the late
Bob G arst who personally invited
and hosted N ikita K hrushchev to
visit Coon Rapids for a look a t the
G arst Farm s, noted for their seed
corn business and cattle experim en­
tation.
Com m enting on his trip s to R us­
sia, Mr. C hrystal said, “ The Acad­
emy asked me to go out and take a
look a t Soviet agriculture, then
come back to Moscow to critique
and suggest b etter ways to do the
job. The last time, for example, I
m et w ith the M inister of A griculture
and the Politburo m em ber in charge
of agriculture and m ade a report to
them .
“ O ut in the country I would go
state-to -state, m eeting w ith the
M inister of A griculture in each of
them , and they took me on tours of
farm s. On my retu rn to Moscow we
would generally m eet w ith up to 100
people. I would speak and they
would then ask questions. All of

this, of course, was done through in-®
terpreters. My principal suggestion
to them was for a b etter organiza­
tion of their agricultural industry.
For example, they have no repair in­
d u stry off-farm, there is no separate®
protein industry, no ability to ven­
ture and fail.”
While m any people criticize the
Russians and their seem ing in a b ility ^
to generate enough food supply in a
nation w ith such v a st geographic
boundaries, Mr. C hrystal notes,
“ Compared to where they sta rte d
from a t the end of W orld W ar II £
they have actually done well. Their
entire country was devastated. To
begin with, they have to endure a
poor w eather clim ate for their crops.
Then, beginning w ith 1945 they h a d 0
poor education and poor m echaniza­
tion, plus an overlay of bureaucracy.
They can overcome all of these con­
ditions except the w eather, so I be­
lieve it is not realistic to say they are 0
unsuccessful.”
The appearance of Dr. Lishchenko
on the IBA convention program will
give Iowa bankers an opportunity to
hear first-hand about the progress of®
R ussian agricultural development.
The 96th convention them e is
“ P artners Progressing T ogether.”
Some other headliners for the
general sessions will be G. Gordon ®
Liddy, Capt. Gerald Coffee, U.S.N.,
and Dr. Paul Nadler.
Gordon Liddy is rem em bered as
the W atergate m asterm ind, later im- £
prisoned for four years, and now a
novelist and lecturer whose book
“ W ill” has been a best seller.
Capt. Coffee is a truly extraor­
dinary m an who joined the N avy in 0
1957. D uring his seven years of im ­
prisonm ent in N orth Viet Nam after
being shot down on a N avy flying
mission, he exhibited the sterling
qualities th a t m ade survival possi- 0
ble for him self and those around
him. His experience in this phase of
life is recounted in his gripping
book, “ Faith: The Key to Survival
and T rium ph.” Capt. Coffee current- 0
ly is Fleet Air O perations Officer a t
U.S. Pacific Fleet H eadquarters.
Dr. Nadler is well-known to Iowa
audiences through his previous ap­
pearances a t banker conventions, as ®
well as his position as professor of
business adm inistration a t R utgers
U niversity. His topic will be “ The
Dollar and You.”
Headlining the entertainm ent will
be noted ballad singer Burl Ives. □

The futura looks
alm ost n good

to be trae.

The MasterCard I™ debit card is an
innovation that responds to the changing
attitudes of your customers.
Designed around the latest technology,
MasterCard I will give your customers:
• Worldwide access to transaction
accounts at over three million
MasterCard ®merchants
• ATM access
• Cash advance capabilities at over
72,000 banking offices
• Descriptive transaction reporting
And, while MasterCard I works like a
check, it eliminates the problems often
associated with check writing and the need
to carry large amounts of cash.
As beneficial as MasterCard I is for the
consumer, it will prove to be even more so
for your financial institution. The MasterCard
brand is recognized worldwide and it makes
you part of a controlled delivery system

that is already in place. MasterCard II
enhances your present ATM program and
can be your link to ATM networks of
the future.
In addition, MasterCard I will be
profitable for your institution — an
excellent source of fee income and an
indispensable feature of your transaction
account package.
MasterCard IE is a program that you
manage. Banco Card Services removes
the complexity of execution through
marketing, operational and systems
support. For more information, contact
the Banco Card Services office in your area.

We believe the debit card holds the
same growth potential that credit cards
held in the 1970’s...growth that you can
tap today.
