Community Bankers Still ‘Hurrahing’

P OR MOST of the past decade,
the preachers of financial doom
for community banks have been pre­
dicting the demise of thousands of
smaller banks. Many people in print
and broadcast media accepted this
line of thinking as being gospel-true
forecasting. The fallacy of this
thinking, and the pitfall of trying to
forecast such events, are attested to
eloquently by the following true
story.
A long-time friend and highly-re­
spected banker, Alice M. Dittman,
wrote us October 20 just before we
left for the American Bankers Asso­
ciation convention in San Francisco
late last month. Alice, who is presi­
dent of Comhusker Bank in Lincoln,
Nebr., enclosed a copy of a feature
column written by Donald R. White
for the San Francisco Chronicle just
as ABA registrants were arriving in
his city for their 1981 ABA convention. After warning San Franciscans
they would be unable to dine at their
favorite spots while the bankers
were in town, Mr. White went on to
say:
“What San Francisco’s hotels,
restaurateurs, cabbies, bartenders
and merchants may be witnessing is
the last gasp of the commercial
banking business in the United
States as we have known it since the
early 1930s.
“There are 14,500 commercial
banks in the country, which is about

14,000 more than a sophisticated
economy needs.
“Is there really a need for the Com­
husker Bank of Lincoln, Neb., in
the grand scheme of things? Alice
M. Dittman, the bank’s president,
will claim there is.
“Or for the Walnut Valley State
Bank of El Dorado, Kan.? Its board
chairman, Clifford Stone, here for
the convention, is sure to say that
his bank hits a special community
niche that no big banks can fill.
“The fact is that the American
banking system is going through
rapid changes as a result of deregu­
lation.
“Old-fashioned ‘mom and pop’
banks, protected by state laws that
prohibit branch banking, can no
longer survive in the face of competi­
tion from big banks, nationwide
brokerage houses, large savings and
loan associations, insurance compa­
nies and money market funds.
“By the time the American Bank­
ers Association convenes again in
San Francisco several years from
now, the commercial hanking busi­
ness will have gone through a com­
plete metamorphosis.
“Safe to say there will be far
fewer than 14,500 banks repre­
sented.
“Nationwide banking, as prac­
ticed in every other industralized na­
tion, has been too long forbidden by
law in the United States.

November 10,1986

“A fragmented banking system is
an anachronism in these days of
electronic banking. When you can
transfer funds electronically to any
corner of the world is there a need
for parochial bankers?
“The ‘mom and pop’ comer store
bankers will say there is, but they
have yet to feel the heat of real com­
petition.
“For them, the San Francisco con­
vention may be their last hurrah.”
He missed by about 14,000! There
are still well over 14,000 chartered
banks in the United States.
Alice Dittman added the coup de
grace in the concluding paragraph of
her letter to us when she stated:
“Needless to say, the 1981 con­
vention was not my ‘last hurrah.’
Our bank has continued its growth
at an average rate of 15% a year,
and is now $42,000,000.00 It was
$20,000,000.00 in 1981. Cliff Stone
of Walnut Valley Bank & Trust of El
Dorado, KS., indicates his bank has
grown from $42,000,000.00 to
$83,000,000.00 in the same period of
time. What this indicates to me is
that there continues to be a need for
small banks and, surprisingly, the
mergers have been in the larger in­
stitutions. ”
In the meantime, back at the con­
vention, a great deal of the usual in­
form al c o n v ersatio n revolved
around the current topic in San
Francisco—“Will Bank of America
(which Mr. White had casually in­
ferred would be one of the giants

ALB I A: The First Iowa State Bank
here was given approval November
5 by State Superintendent William
R. Bernau to open an office in Eddyville, located about 20 miles north­
east of Albia. Permission to operate
an Eddyville office also had been
sought by organizers of the pro­
posed new Peoples State Bank of
Albia. Mr. Bernau said the Eddy­
ville office was awarded to First
Iowa State Bank because it is cur­
rently in operation, while the pro­
posed new bank has no operating
history behind it. The Peoples State
Bank charter has been proposed to
replace the Peoples National Bank &
