"'Doing the right thing at the right
time is basic to success in business.
When an investor sells a stock too
early, he loses profit potential. W hen a
farmer plants a crop too late, he loses
yield potential.
Proper tim ing is also im portant in
banking. In our Correspondent De
partm ent we use current data process
ing reports to maximize Fed Fund
potential. Detail check collection
schedules and sophisticated analysis
techniques enable us to pass availa

their investm ent potential.

W an t cash in Seattle
the sam e business day?
G o h ire a superm an.

Gash availabilities. Most money center banks
talk a big game. But start to pin them down. Inquire
about schedules. Ask if your cash letter with items
on Seattle, Atlanta, New York or Topeka banks can
be available the same day. And the brags and boasts
will start to fade.
You’ll hear, “Hey, you don’t need us. Call a
superman’.’
Funny, at Continental Bank, we don’t think
same-day cash availability is an act of heroism. To us,
it’s business as usual. But then, we happen to have
one of the best schedules in America.
Part of it is luck. We’re in Chicago, the nation’s
transportation hub. The other part is good planning,

good technology and good old-fashioned hard work.
We have two helicopters for continuous mail pickup.
An exclusive zip-code. And non-stop, 24 hour-a-day
processing. We present checks for collection to 400
endpoints daily, 250 of which are direct sends.
Frankly, on speed alone, we generally beat
the Fed hands down. And not many banks can
say that.
Let us show you how your availability could be
better. Call Robert C. Vasco at (312) 828-4046. Our
correspondents get the best there is.
It’s what you expect from a top correspondent
bank.
At Continental Bank, it’s reality.

This 1958 building doesn’t
look or act its age.
Inside and out, both the form and
function of this bank were recently
updated by Bank Building
Corporation.
Decades of success and growth
had com m itted Citizens National
Bank to their established location,
and they’d outgrown their building
in the process. Total redesign was
needed. Both inside and outside
wall surfaces were removed and
replaced. Floor area was doubled,
in the process of becoming a more
use-filled building, the new Citizens
has made a strong visual impact on
its community.
This project was com pleted on

budget and on time, with minimum
inconvenience to customers and
employees. Which comes with
practice: since 1913, Bank Building
Corporation has com pleted over
8000 projects— many of them
rem odeling assignments.
We know that some older
buildings are right for remodeling,
while others are not. And we’ve
learned to know the differences
between them.
Before your need to remodel or
build becomes acute, please call
Tom Spalding at 314/647-3800. Let's
become acquainted and share
more information.
Ask us to show you a new
beginning or two.

“I carry enough parts on
every service call to handle
almost any service problem.
Mosler thinks ahead!’
Every Mosler service vehicle
is a mini-warehouse on wheels.

Kenneth Mayberry
Sr. Service Technician
Saginaw, Michigan

On a service call, our technicians don’t have to waste val
uable time making extra trips to one of our major distribution
warehouses for parts— most of the time all it takes is a trip to
the van or truck. Each of our over 1,000 custom vehicles is
equipped with thousands of dollars worth of replacement
parts and tools. Available right then.
In addition, our more than a thousand expert techni
cians are factory trained in every aspect of service,
including installation and preventative maintenance on all
makes of security products. In fact about 20% of a Mosler i
service technician’s career is spent in training, staying
current with the newest innovations and techniques.
We want our service to be as good as any of our
products. From start to finish. Because twenty-four
hours a day, seven days a week, the integrity of our
service is as important to Mosler as it is to you. That’s
■*
why we think ahead. So you can stay ahead.

We asked.
And most of you said three or
imes a year.
Then we realized that few, if
najor correspondent banks had
*h calling officers or support
5 pull that off. We knew we didn’t,
So again, we took the direct
lach. We reorganized our

icreased our staff of professionals

in every area, bo all our primary
respondents will see us as often as
they’d like.
We now field the largest force
of correspondent calling officers,
bond and money market specialists,
data processing professionals and
cash management consultants in the
Upper Midwest. Experienced people
trained to know you and your markets.
And all because that’s what
you’ve asked for.

that we’re the most responsive

getting the right idea.

American Express can give your
customer a temporary ID.
Anyone who loses a wallet on vacation has
probably lost more than just money.
Chances are, he’s lost his identification too.
W hich means he may have trouble trying to
prove who he is when he tries to cash a
check. Pick up his rental car. O r check into
his hotel.
Fortunately, American Express can help.
If your customers lose their identification
along with their American Express®
Travelers Cheques, we can issue them a

temporary ID. W hen they call to report
their loss, they will be referred (following
verification) to one of our Travel Service
Offices in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico,
or the U.S. Virgin Islands—where they can
pick up the ID card during business hours. It
has our name and phone number and their
name printed right on it, so they can use us
as a reference wherever they go.
No other travelers cheque can give your
customers a temporary ID card. A nd no
other travelers cheque offers all the other
special services we do throughout the U.S.,
Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands: 24-Hour Travel Service Hotline,
Credit Card Cancellation Assistance, Emer
gency Message Service and Check Cashing
up to $200.
So when you sell your customers
American Express Travelers Cheques, you’re
giving them the kind of extra protection
they may need on their next vacation. A nd
the more you do for them, the more you
do for yourself. After all, keeping your
customers satisfied is the best
way to keep your customers.

CORRESPONDENT ON-LINE
Update your operation electronically without
a large capital expenditure.

The Correspondent Bank D epartm ent of the U.S.
National Bank will be happy to explain to you the many
advantages of going “ on-line” . Call Tom Jackson,
outside Nebraska — 800-228-9511, in Nebraska —
800-642-9917.

When you go “ on-line” with U.S. National, you hook up
with one of the most modern on-line systems in the coun
try. You enjoy the benefits of the latest com puter
technology at a relatively low cost.
United States National’s Correspondent On-Line System
gives you the advantage of computer speed and ac
curacy in posting, proofing, handling balance inquiries,
account histories, and obtaining customer information
profiles. This information is at your fingertips instantly.
Another “on-line” advantage is that processed items
need not leave your possession — only the information
is passed on.
The equipment shown at left is all that is necessary
in your bank, and your employees can be trained to
operate the equipment quickly because it’s simple and

a ssess the 1982 outlook
A Northwestern Banker Survey
ERHAPS one of the most difficult assignments today
P
is to consider all the negative and diverse aspects of
today’s economy and try to forecast what will happen
during 1982 in the housing mortgage market. However,
the chief executive officers of several of the nation’s
leading mortgage insurance firms agreed to this assign
ment and have given their honest appraisals of this
important market for the months ahead in the following
special report for N orthwestern Banker readers:

Challenges and Opportunities

LEON T. KENDALL
Chairman of the Board
Mortgage Guaranty/
Insurance Corporation
Milwaukee, Wis.

ATHERING storm clouds of recession mark the
G
beginning of 1982. The high interest rates of 1981
have taken their toll. Housing and autos are in a
depression, and the impact of the declines in these
industries is spreading. Industrial production is down
and unemployment is rising. Businessmen and consum
ers are very cautious in making future spending plans.
The drop in overall activity should be especially sharp
during the first quarter of the year and run into next
spring. The second half of 1982 should see recovery
under way. Thus, it looks like we have a "V-shaped”
recession.
On a more optimistic note, the 1981-82 recession can
set the stage for a strong recovery by wringing out
inflation through moderation of wage demands, empha
sis on revived cost control and efficiency, increased
savings and revitalized competition. This current down
turn has been caused by ten years of inflation and the
accumulation of bad habits and attitudes brought on by
inflation and, in many respects, it is unique.
Giving Reagan economics its due, this may well be
viewed as model change-over time in the United States
economy. We are moving from Keynesian demand-side
economics to supply side economics. We are changing the
balance between government and private enterprise;
between savers and borrowers; and, hopefully, from a
depreciating and stable dollar domestically and in world

https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

markets. The forces used by the Administration to bring
about these changes are long-term. They include tax
reductions, reduction in the size and role of government;
a new balance between monetary and fiscal policy; and a
new competitiveness throughout the economy. One
should keep in mind that the benefits of the program are
also long-term. A key question is whether the American
people will be willing to wait for the fruits of the program
to ripen.
This recession, by bringing interest rates down, ab
sorbing excess inventories and rebuilding liquidity, can
set the stage for positive long-term growth. For bankers
and mortgage lenders, the positive effects can come early,
for interest rates which start down under the pressure of
recession can continue down during the subsequent
recovery. This has happened in the past. Based on the
expectation that Americans will opt for long-term cures,
I can project rates on short term Treasury bills of 10% by
mid-year 1982 and 8.5% year-end 1982. Home mortgage
rates could decline to 13% by mid-1982 and 12% by the
end of the year.
As far as housing starts are concerned, there is little
doubt that a housing forecast in 1982 is an interest rate
forecast. If mortgage rates stay at 17% or above, we will
not reach the one million start level. At 15%, 1.3 million
units can be built; at 12% or lower, 1.8 million units
would be possible.
Challenges Facing Mortgage Lenders
The twin challenges facing the mortgage market are
the availability of mortgage funds and the affordability
of the monthly payment to the potential home buyer.
With the nation’s thrift and mortgage lending institu
tions in trouble, the availability challenge could fall
more heavily on commercial banks in 1982 than it has in
the past.
At MGIC, when we ponder the question, "Will there be
enough mortgage money and where will it come from?”
our view turns to the secondary market and the nation’s
institutional investors. Without a doubt, pension funds
are the major growing pool of long-term funds in the
nation. They represent a great potential for home loan
investment. Banks can be the originators and the
servicers of the home loans that pension funds might buy.
This activity not only is vital to a full service bank given
pent-up demand, it also can become a major profit center.
The way to get started is through participation in the
programs of Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and the use of
secondary market services of mortgage insurers like
MGIC.
In 1981, MGIC provided over $3 billion of secondary
market match-making services to its customers at no

Northwestern Banker February, 1982

26
cost to them. It also placed over $400 million of locally
originated mortgages, the average size and placement
being $25 million, with state retirement pension plans in
10 states. If you did not participate in these activities,
you owe it to yourself to explore them.
The challenge of qualifying individual home buyers
can be partially met through use of innovative mortgage
instruments. The fixed rate home loan is being supple
mented in the marketplace by various types of graduated
payment mortgages, roll-over mortgages, and variable
rate mortgages which permit lenders to match borrowers
and houses in new, unique and safe ways. A whole family
of new private mortgage products has been created to
maintain the integrity of the investment and yet qualify
young people for houses. For example, private mortgage
insurers like MGIC are offering adjuster coverage for
negatively amortized loans. Even though the borrower
may at some point in time owe more than 100% of the
original balance, the portfolio lender or investor con
tinues to be protected down to 75% of the original value.
We also offer 100% coverage on pools in loans where
investors require this measure of safety.
Mortgage rates may rise and mortgages may cost more
than triple A corporate funds in the future, just as they
did back in the 1960’s prior to regulation Q, but
innovative lenders working with secondary market pro
fessionals and mortgage insurers can continue to put
people in houses.

Creative Financing to Continue

DAVID W. BEAL, President
Banco Mortgage Company
Minneapolis, Minn.

HE YEAR 1982 will see a continuation of the
consolidation of financial institutions. The existing
T
long term mortgage debt in lenders portfolios will
continue to erode earnings and cause a shrinkage of net
worth. Federal legislation to over-ride various state
prohibition on enforcement of "due on sale” clauses could
provide some very slight relief to this continuing prob
lem. This type of legislation, however, is too late for
many institutions. The bigger problem is the high cost of
funds and very little relief appears to be coming in 1982.
Numerous forces exist in our economy which will tend
to resist an appreciable decline in interest rates, namely
inflation, large governmental deficits and corporate bor
rowing. Until inflation is established for a number of
years in the single digit range, lenders will be reluctant
to commit funds at rates below current levels. Federal
Government borrowings in excess of 100 billion annually
will also keep rates at high levels. Many corporate
borrowers are waiting for rates to hit certain lower than
present levels, and when that happens, they will come
into the money markets to obtain longer funds at fixed
rates.

"Creative financing” which became the buzz word of
residential financing will continue in 1982. Investors as
well as consumer acceptance of many forms of the
adjustable rate mortgage has been slow. Unlimited semi
annual or annual upward adjustments in the mortgage
rate has not been accepted by consumers. A fixed rate for
5 to 7 years with a balloon at the end of the period will
probably emerge as a form of financing acceptable to
borrowers and investors. We will see, however, many
other individually tailored plans with negative amortiza
tion and buy-down rates.

ousing will experience another sluggish year as
continued pressure on interest rates will, in turn,
H
continue to keep a significant number of potential
purchasers from qualifying for mortgages. Long-term
interest rates will remain high during the year. Many
corporations will begin funding deferred long-term
financing requirements when long term-rates move
down to the 12% - 13% range; however, the supply of
long-term funds is likely to be thin so that corporate
bond rates will stabilize, or even move back up, after
only a modest decrease.
The demand for mortgage funds likewise will be
greater than the amount needed to finance resales and
new construction, as the "creative financing” of the past
several years begins to come up for renewal. The total
demand for housing funds will tend to stabilize mortgage
rates, as well.
During 1982 we expect to see the beginning of a trend
toward a national mortgage rate, rather than the vary
ing local rates prevalent in the past, as lenders increas
ingly begin looking to the general capital markets for
housing funds. Since investors will expect a yield at least
equal to the corporate "AA” rate, the national mortgage
rate will settle at 100 to 200 basis points above the
corporate rate.
For the year, we expect about 1.2 million housing
starts. The year will start very slowly for housing, but
will end up with annualized starts at about 1.5 million
units. Mortgage rates may drop to the 14% - 15% range.
Short-term rates may fall somewhat from present levels
in the second quarter but, if so, will rebound in the third
quarter.
Much depends on how the market perceives the
direction and duration in the inflation rate. A sharp
drop, perceived to be of lasting duration, could mean
somewhat lower long- and short-term rates; however, the
reduction of mortgage rates to the 12V2% to 13% level
could open the demand flood gates and stabilize rates at
that level for some time.

Independent Bankers put the
ARM on national money markets
offers MMF to independent banks
Editor's Note: In last month's issue, readers were
presented a review of the Money Market Fund
developed by Mid-America Bank Services Corporation,
which was organized last year by 13 state banker
associations. That article gave details of the American
Money Market Fund scheduled to be available soon.
The article also reviewed other programs being
developed by MABSCO.
The accompanying article recounts the progress
being made by Independent Bancservices Exchange
with its cash management service, Automatic Asset
Reserve Management, and other services and products
IN D EX is offering independent banks nationwide.
HEN INDEX began offering access to a money
W
money market fund last October to 11,250 in
dependent banks in the United States, it became the
first viable commercial banking competitor for the
retail money market funds. In the ensuing four
months, over 600 independent banks have contacted
INDEX for information on how to offer their
customers access to MMFs, through the INDEX ser
vice called Automatic Asset Reserve Management.
Referred to as A ARM, the service was developed
with Federated Administrative Services, Inc. to help
banks in their marketing and operation of a cash
management service. With ARM, banks can market a
money management program, tailored to their in

dividual banks, enabling them to effect transfers of
customer monies into one of three money market
funds: a tax exempt fund, a government securities
fund and a bank CD fund.
Federated has been providing such cash manage
ment services to bank trust departments for years, and
has 1,400 client banks. It is the largest manager of in
stitutional money funds which are used mostly by
small and medium-sized bank trust departments.
E. Milton Klohn, chairman, and Noel H. Busch,
president, helped found INDEX last summer. Busch
had been CEO of Independent State Bank of Min
nesota since 1975. Klohn had been President of Town
& Country State Bank of Newport, Minn., for the past
eleven years and a former director of Independent
State Bank. Independent State Bank was founded in
1975 by 188 members of the Independent Bankers of
Minnesota, the first such bank formed “de novo” by
independent bankers to provide their fellow in
dependents with correspondent services. More than
ten years earlier, dozens of Nebraska independent
banks bought stock in the existing Packers National
Bank of Omaha for the same purpose. Following the
Minnesota success, independent banks have been
chartered as Independent State Bank of Colorado,
Wisconsin Independent Bank, and Texas Independent
Bank while Independent State Bank of Ohio and In
dependent Bankers’ Bank of Florida are in formation.
INDEX Strengthens State Associations
Mr. Klohn and Mr. Busch stated at the outset to in
dependent bankers, “INDEX will not replace your
state independent bankers association or your indepen
dent bankers’ bank. It will help to make them stronger.
In fact, we are asking those organizations to become
principal members so that the services we develop and
the way INDEX operates will be in harmony with the
needs and market values of your region.”
They explained further that, “Like a broadcast net
work, the principal member organizations will obtain
programs and services for you that augment their own
services.” Under this concept, INDEX now offers
member banks four additional services. They are: IN
DATA, for data processing; INFORM, to assist in
compliance; INPACE; to aid in profit forecasting and
analysis; and INSIGNIA, to assist with advertising
and Marketing.
The two officers said “the principal members will ac-

tually own and control INDEX as voting members.”
Independent State Bank of Minnesota was the first
rincipal member, followed by Wisconsin Independent
Bank, Independent State Bank of Colorado, Communi
ty Bankers Association of Ohio and Michigan Associa
tion of Community Bankers. Other state organizations
are actively considering Principal Membership.
Affiliated Members Solicited
Independent banks have been asked to join INDEX
as affiliated members by payment of an initiation fee
of $100 that includes first year dues of $75. This af
filiated membership provides access to INDEX serices through the independent bank’s principal
member in its state, or directly if there is no principal
member.
In the first 90 days after announcing INDEX to in
dependent banks, Mr. Busch says, ‘‘more than 100
ave been signed as affiliated members, we have had
hundreds of inquiries and the rate is picking up to
more than a dozen every day. We will see the volume of
’nquries pick up even further as AMEX/Shearson,
"ears, Visa, Mastercard and others get their programs
oing.” He doesn’t consider the American Money
arket Fund offered by MABSCO as a competitor,
ecause its program doesn’t appear to afford the same
degree of flexibility and support. But he said it is a
hoice the banks will make. Some banks will even use
oth, although it is really too early to tell because the
MMF has no track record. MABSCO offers its
MMF to all member banks in a 13-state area,
hereas INDEX offers ARM to independent banks naionwide.
Independent State Bank of Minnesota is no stranger
o the national money markets. It became a pacesetter
n 1980 when it pioneered a highly successful program
ith Federated to purchase and place $100,000 CDs in
'ndependent banks. That program has become the naional leader in recycling money market funds back ino community banks and has since been copied by
ther banks.
Customer Selects MMF
Now, through its ARM account, INDEX makes it
ossible for deposits in small bank customer accounts
o move into any one of Federated Group’s three intitutional funds — the Money Market Trust, with
bout $3 billion in CDs; the Trust for Short-Term U.S.
overnment Securities, with more than $4 billion, and
he Federated Tax-Free Trust, which holds over $2
illion in short-term municipal securities.
To accomplish this, the customer signs an agency
greement with a local independent bank, authorizing
t to effect certain transactions which, of course, in
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

elude placing specified amounts of customer balances
in a MMF. The customer selects which of the three
Federated Funds, or combination of them, that is
desired.
Each bank sets its own requirements for the ac
count, Mr. Busch points out. ‘‘A separate account is
recommended,” he says, ‘‘either a checking or NOW
account, but unless it is a corporate customer it will or
dinarily be a NOW so the customer has an interestbearing transaction account. The bank and customer
agree on details of the agency agreement, which
stipulate minimum balance, fees to be paid the bank,
and the level above which the bank is to move excess
money into the MMF and the level below which fund
shares are to be redeemed. The bank then deals direct
ly with the ARM Service Center operated in Pitts
burgh by Federated.”
Many of the banks presently operate on a manual
basis; i.e., they telephone daily or weekly (as desired by
the customer) any purchases or withdrawals from the
MMF. Software to do an automatic sweep by com
puter is also being used by others. Federated has also
developed a software package, Mr. Busch explained, to
offer affiliated member banks this sweep capability.
INDEX also is working with CADO computer for a
similar package. He said most software houses can
make the required program changes for in-house com
puters commonly in use by independent banks.
Whether by manual or automatic means, the in
dependent bank now has the capability of offering local
customers direct access to a national MMF and not ex
perience the frustration of past months when bankers
all over the country saw billions of dollars in deposits
siphoned off by retail MMF’s that are aggressively
after banks customer accounts.
INDEX to Offer IRA Support Fund
Mr. Busch also reported last month the announce
ment of another product that will aid independent
banks. “We’ve worked with Federated on an IRA sup
port program to provide an alternative to deposits as
the funding vehicle for independent banks customer,”
and will soon be announcing further enhancements of
the AARM program.
Acceptance of INDEX and its growing place in the
scheme of a positive thrust into competitive marketing
with national non-bank financial organizations is
evidenced by the fact that INDEX offices were
scheduled to be moved the second week in February
from the quarters shared with Independent State
Bank of Minnesota. The new INDEX offices are a
block and a half away at 100 Washington Square.
Mr. Busch said INDEX scheduled seminars in
January and February with nine state independent
bankers associations, and each of those states is joint
ly sponsoring one to four seminars. Mr. Busch and Mr.
Klohn will be heavily involved with those seminars.
Mr. Busch said, “our mission is to provide an um
brella organization that can help independent banks
strengthen their territorial integrity through services
that meet the needs of their customers and enhance the
bank’s performance. We want to help make sure there
is no vacuum that all the non-bank financial organiza
tions can walk into with ease,” he said. “The public
will stay with the local bank if it offers the services
they want.”

$15 billion. They say their policies
with respect to the 17 “would be
amended to insure that appropriate
steps are taken to improve over timei
the capital positions of banking
organizations in this group.”
The Comptroller says few nation
al banks are below that office’s re

average, the 4,000 community
banks reporting to the Comptroller
have a 9.71% equity capital ratio,
and the 109 regional banks have a
6.54% equity capital ratio.

The FDIC requires only an acrossthe-board 6% ratio of equity capital
to total assets, compared to the Fed
and Comptroller’s requirements of
5% for larger regional banks and 6%'
for community banks. In addition,
the FDIC will not count subordi
nated debt and limited life preferred
stock as capital.
The FDIC official statement says'
those two components will not be
counted in evaluating capital ade
quacy since they lack permanence,
are not available to absorb losses in,
a going concern, and impose man

FDIC neither encourages or dis

be counted for capital.

“Time Theft” Costs Nations $120 Billion
i i T IME THEFT” - the deliberI ate waste and abuse of on-thejob time — cost the troubled
American economy a staggering
$120 billion in 1981, it was reported

ting and data processing recruiters
(with over 80 offices throughout the
United States, and in Canada and
Great Britain), has been conducting
studies of time theft since 1970,
when he first identified — and
named — the problem.
Mr. Half points out that time
theft can take many forms. He said
that the most common examples in
clude:
• Arriving at work late
• Leaving early
• Overly-long lunch hours
• Fabricating illness and taking un
warranted “sick” days.
• Unreasonable amounts of time
spent socializing with co-workers
• Reading newspapers, magazines
or books on company time
• Attending to personal business on
company time
• Daydreaming and general inat
tention to the work that should be
done
• Numerous and personal phone
calls

With this information, the banker
hopefully can make an earlier deci
sion and, more importantly, a better
decision with a wider array of infor
mation based on collected facts.
Profitability Projected
One of the principal values of the
program, as seen by banker par
ticipants, is that it will help project
over a several year period whether a
certain project proposed by a farm
customer will be profitable, and how
long it will take to produce a profit,
given the data uncovered by the
computer and the farmer’s own
balance sheets. “ It should be a
learning experience for both the
banker and the farmer,” Mr. Ber
thiaume says, becuause both seek
the same answer — “how the loan
will affect the farmer’s business and
whether the farmer will be able to
make the loan payments.”
With the analysis printed out
from the computer, the decision can
be to go ahead, based on the
banker’s loan judgment, or, if
necessary, look at alternatives of
fered by the computer data bank. In
either event, “it is imperative,” Mr.
Berthiaume concluded, “that lend
ing decisions be based on long term
goals rather than short term desires
— which is exactly what the com
puter is designed to do. ’’
□
• Extended coffee breaks
• Deliberately slowing down in
order to create higher-paying
overtime work
• Eating lunch on the premises —
and then going out for a full lunch
hour
• Operating another business on
the side
“Of course,” Mr. Half observed,
“employees should not be treated
like machines. Everyone deserves a
reasonable amount of respite during
the work day. There’s nothing
wrong with some social conversa
tion. We’re all going to be late once
in a while. And even the most concientious person will ‘goof-off a bit
from time to time.”
“However, deliberate, planned
and continual time theft poses an ex
tremely serious — and mounting —
threat to our entire economy.”
“Time theft,” he warns, “deals a
severe blow to the nation’s produc
tivity. And it fuels inflation by rais
ing both the costs of producing
goods and services and the prices
consumers must then pay for them.”

If you think your correspondent
bank is stringing you along,
maybe its tim e you severed the ties.
Sometimes, getting the answers you need from
your correspondent banker can be a frustrating
experience. One that consumes too much of your
valuable time. And one that could contribute
to your loss of a customer.
At Midland National Bank, we won’t string
you along. Because most of our business
as a bank comes from dealing with businesses
and other banks. So, frankly, we’re willing
to put a lot of effort into making
our relationship with you work.
We’v e organized our bank
in a way that allows you to
deal directly with a decision
maker, rather than having
to go through several review
committees. Our correspondent
team is dedicated to responding to
your needs quickly. And, our
expertise with small and mid-sized
businesses puts us in a unique
position to understand your
customers’ needs.
So the next time you feel like
your correspondent bank is giving
you the business, call the Midland
National Bank correspondent team,
toll free at 1-800-752-4200.* And see
how the bank for business can
go to work to improve yours.

In Proof Data Capture
we've set new standards
so you can m aintain yours

O ur system helps
increase your productivity
w hile reducing your costs.
O ver two years ago, First Bank Saint Paul
introduced an innovative processing system, proof
data capture.
The outstate locations of many First Bank Saint
Paul customers meant less flexible schedules, early
cut off times, weather problems, and costly courier
service. Yet, these customers did not want to
commit to supporting an in-house EDP system.
Today, many banks are using proof data capture
to reduce their EDP costs by as much as 20% , and
courier costs by as m uch as 50%. But that's just
the start of the savings.
Proof data capture has also improved their
daily cash and float m anagement, reduced security
risks in transporting checks, reduced the time for
handling exception items and has increased
their over-all productivity.

With this new in-bank distributed processing,
entry data is captured in proof and transmitted
electronically to our com puter for processing.
There's no need to invest in your own in-house
com puter system. No need to worry about software
enhancem ents and m aintenance problems.
The results? You maintain your standards.
You save time. You save money.
W e're now involved in developing new on-line
proof program s to provide faster transmission
of your data. In addition, we have enhanced the
in - bank printing system which permits you to print
reports right in your bank.

leverage on the company’s balance sheet, need to
monitor collateral closely, or a variety of other

by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or

company update were reports on the
progress of the task forces. Areas of
interest include money market
funds, ag credit services and secon

over thirty task forces being formed

Chicago, followed with an in-depth
analysis of the opportunities of a

SCORE utilizes a now affordable
mini-computer and printer in
stalled in your bank that are on-line
with our highly sophisticated cen
tral computer. Data entry for any

• Your personnel have complete
control over all data entered.
• Over-the-counter on-us items do
not leave your bank.
• Daily cut-off times are estab
lished by you — without concern
for meeting courier time
schedules.

labor.
• Reports are printed in your bank
at the hours you designate.
• Reliance on courier service is
limited to transit items.

specialists making an on-site as
sessment of your data processing
needs and helping you select the
equipment that is best for you.
We’ll oversee the installation of the

Why our man in Iowa...
man in Iowa
should be

Chances are you already know him. Most
every banker in Iowa does. He’s Max Roy.
Max has been tra ve lin g the state fo r over
25 years ... h elping co rre sp o n d e n t bankers
in ju s t about every way you could th in k of.
It’s not p resum ptuo us to say that th is man
know s as m uch about fa rm in g in Iowa, and
the needs of bankers there, as any banker
w ho could knock on your door.
You see, Max Roy is n ’t ju s t a banker. He’s
a farm er-ra n ch e r. Has his own farm just
o u ts id e o f B lo o m fie ld , Io w a . 700 a cre s.
Runs over 300 head of cattle. Like you, he’s

been th ro u g h the ups and dow ns of d ifferent
cattle cycles. W hen you talk to Max about
farm ing, feed, c a ttle ... the needs of your
custom ers, he know s w hat y o u ’re ta lkin g
a b o u t... first hand!
Max Roy is the kind of person y o u ’ll find
in Drovers C orrespondent B anking D epart
ment. We’re proud to have him w ith us, and
to offe r you the years of banking know -how
he represents.
If y o u ’re one of the few Iowa bankers who
d oesn’t know Max, you o u g h t to! He’ll prove
that Drovers should be your bank —and that
Max Roy should be your man in Iowa.

, Iowa Bankers Insurance and Services Inc.

Announces two new
health care programs
that can make
you and your budget
feel better.
I.B.I.S. can save you a
bundle on your employees
health care insurance. Depend
ing on what type plan you have
now we could save you 10%,
15%, 25% maybe a little more.
And possibly give you better
coverage at the same time.
One of our new plans is
for banks that want to protect
their employees from the major
accident or sickness at the
lowest possible cost.
The other new plan is for
banks that want to expand
the traditional group health
benefits and at the same time,

decrease monthly premium
charges.
I.B.I.S. has a trained staff
to take the time and adminis
trative load off you. That saves
money too. We think our plans
will surprise you on how much
they cover for the dollar. More
coverage, more value.
Right now 74% of all
Iowa banks use our health and
dental care programs. Give us
a call now and see what a
difference there is when bank
ers design insurance programs
for bankers! Call Millie Uding

k around. Banking has become one of
ay’s most competitive businesses.
’our customers are being wooed by every
ncial institution in your market area,
he trick to keeping your customers loyal,
to increasing your profits, is knowing as
ch about them as possible and keeping
t information updated daily,
nfortunately, complete up-to-the-minute
tomer profiles are rare. Background ination is often gathered randomly and
ed in many different places, making it
icult to obtain for useful purposes,
ntil now. Until Banks of Iowa Computer
ices Central Information File (CIF).
ith Banks of Iowa Computer Services’
complete information on your customcan be obtained in moments, either on a
lay terminal or as hard copy.

The operative word is exhaustive. Since
every possible piece of information gathered
is centrally stored, you have immediate ac
cess to such things as the status and history
of a given customer’s account and his ac
count relationships. The businesses he’s in
and how they’re doing. And any pertinent
family information.
This information is critical in making quick,
knowledgeable, profitable decisions.
CIF is the most economical, efficient and
sensible way to gather all this information
and to use it for increased profits.
Don’t kid yourself.
There aren’t many new
customers around. What
you need to do is expand
the ways your existing cus
tomers use your bank.

Because a lot of other financial institutions
would like them as customers. And are trying
to get them.
Can you trust your customers? Yes — if
you can trust your information retrieval sys
tem.
And that means CIF.
Contact us today for an appointment.
We’ll be glad to explain our system at your
convenience.

What about other types of investments? We
have up-to-the-minute electronic access
to money market information to help you in
considering government securities, repos,
commercial paper, fed funds and negotiated
certificates of deposit.

What can Iowa’s largest bond and investment
department do for you?
Start with the fact that we actively underwrite
municipal bond issues throughout Iowa,
and therefore can offer a broad portfolio of
tax-free bonds with maturities and yields
to meet your needs.

And perhaps most important, the Iowa-Des
Moines offers you an experienced, thoroughly
professional staff to give your portfolio the
individual attention it deserves.

With that in mind, right now might be a good
time to review your portfolio for tax swaps
to upgrade your investment mix. There could
be advantages in taking a tax loss this year
in order to invest in higher yielding bonds.

Put it all together and you know where to go to
get a lot of help for your money, in the money
market, right here in Iowa.
