financial institutions, the prospect
o f nationwide interstate banking,
and the entry o f Sears Roebuck into

do you feel about the future o f your
bank?” , 61% o f the bankers said
th ey w ere e ith er “ v e r y ” or
“ somewhat” optim istic; 32% ap­
parently were not willing to declare
themselves one way or another and

while only 7 % said they were
pessim istic.
