In a well-managed bank a substantial por-
tion of the profits are added to the capital
structure which gives increased strength and
stability to any institution.
The balance is paid to stockholders in the
form of dividends. If the bank is locally own-
ed and operated, this money is usually spent
at home. This promotes business activity,
helps to keep the community a good place in
which to live and raise a family.
