The removal of the Guaranty Na-
tional bank from the Hermann budd-
ing to its own quarters in a new three-
story structure at 300 Maine street
marks the partial culmination of
plans for the institution's expansion
beginning back tn 1D14 when tbe pres-
ent officials assumed control.
From these bankers' standpoint the
history of the Guaranty National
bank is one worthy of little bote its
growth to them representing but the
outcome of ideals of economic expan-
sion founded upon Houston's sure
growth as an industrial financial and
railroad center. But much of ro-
mance and news exists in the detailed
records of how the Guaranty State
bank a tiny suburban institution lo-
cated at Heights boulevard snd Wash-
ington avenue attained its present
standing in financial circles- and its
position as a Main street financial In-
stitution. But $10000 constituted the capital
of the struggling institution in 1014
at the time John D. and Will L. Dyer
brothers entered upon their duties
aa president and vice - President.

Guaranty National contributed large-
ly to Houston's period of expansion is
a fact which numbers of its thousands
of patrons will substantiate. The
capital has grown from $10000 to
$200000 una the rexources have
passed tbe $2000000 mark deposits
increasing at the rate of more than
$100000 annually since 1014.
The bank was first founded In 1010
in a suburb known then as Cheney-
rille. The first officers were M. G.
Pukes president; R. F. Butts
cashier and owner of controlling in-
terest and A. C. Bell who owned the
building and part interest in the bank.
In' 1018 the capital stock was in-
cressed to $50000 and the next year
in 1010 tbe bank was removed to the
Hermann building as a parr of the
expansion program of tbe new di-
rectorate. Then tbe capital stock was
increased to $100000 nud a move
toward nationalisation begun which
was consummated in 1021 when the
Guaranty State changed its name to
tbe Guaranty National bank and In-
creased its capitalisation to $2(10.000.
A fortunate opportunity a rone to
complete their plans of securing a
Main street location when the lease
on the structure occupied by Iewis'
Oyster Parlor was offered and he
ground put up for sale end bought by
them for $100000. Today this prop-
erty is conservatively estimated to
be worth fcJOO.000 no fast is the
growth of Houston and the corre
sponding increase in value of businenN
property.
