Brief filed on behalf of the
North Carolina Bankers1 Association* By Geo, A. Holderness, Pres.
When "before the Committee in Washington on the ljth of January, Mr. J. W. Norwood, of Greenville, S. C., and Mr* R. G. Rhett, of Charleston, S. C*, stated that Maryland should he added to the district outlined by the Richmond Coinmittee, and from further study of the question it appears that this should be done, as well as all of West Virginia* And it is believed that this can be done without in any way interfering with the natural territory of any other district, since it appears to us that the North Atlantic States should be divided as follows: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Miassachusetts, Rhode Island, and the eastern part of Connecticutt, with Boston as the reserve city;
New York, western Connecticutt, northern New Jersey, with New York as the reserve city; Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware, with Philadelphia as the reserve city* This leaves Maryland in the nature of a "floater”* With this added territory our district would embrace the following states: Maryland, Virginia, Wewt Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, the eastern part of Eastern Tennessee, the eastern part of Eastern Kentucky, and the District of Columbia* This territory, with its diversified interests and banking capital-, would be entirely independent and amply self-sustaining under not only normal conditions, but under almost any conditions.
Now, with this territory fixed upon, the next question is which city within this territory could best serve the whole territory* On this point we respectfully submit that Richmond is unquestionably the city* Ninety-one per cent, of the banks in North Carolina, including all of the national banks except six, have already expressed themselves in favor of Richmond, and the banks so desiring Richmond represent 89/^ of the capital, surplus and profits of all of the banks of North Carolina, and 98p of their deposits* Of the said 91$ of the banks voting for Richmond, 373 of them are expressly for Richmond as first choice, and the balance of 69 (except three for Baltimore) are equivilent to a first choice as they name Charlotte or blank their first choicer

Hot one of the North Carolina hanks have expressed a first preference for Atlanta or Washington, and only three for Baltimore* South Carolina has expressed its preference for Richmond almost as strongly as North Carolina, and has given Atlanta only two first choice votes and Baltimore one# The states of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with national hanking capital and surplus of #48,800,000., are^unanimous for Richmond as the same number of institutions can be for any one thing*
Richmond, though not a reserve city, has been able to take care of its southern connections under past conditions, and Richmond’s clearings for this district can be more fully seen by the fact that of the total deposits of the national banks of Richmond (not a reserve city) ^0% of them are deposits from out of town banks, whereas of the total deposits of the national banks of Washington (a reserve city) onlsr Yjfo of them are from other banks, and of the total deposits of the national banks of ‘.Baltimore (a reserve city) only 4 1 , € of them are from other banks* The above shows that Washington has done so little for this territory that this alone seems sufficient to eliminate Washington from this contest*
Atlanta must be eliminated because the trend of business being northward, it cannot make a territory for itself without taking in and doing violence to states north of it* Of the banks in Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, onls^ 659 have accounts in the reserve city of Baltimore (as s3iown by Baltimore1 s evidence, page 801) whereas 726 have accounts in Richmond as shovm by the list filed by the Richmond Committee. We do not know what powers a branch bank will have, and therefore cannot say what will be the difference between the ser vices given from the parent bank and the branc|i bank, but as the terra implies, a branch cannot be as large as the parent, and I think it is safe to assume that whiie the directors of a branch bank will pass on paper under certain restrictions, the branch will not issue currency or keep a great amount of currency on hand* Baltimore and the territory surrounding it we submit could be more conveniently served by a branch of the Richmond bank than Richmond and the territory mapped out could be served by branches from Baltimore*
The capital and surplus of the national banks of Virginia are greater than those of Maryland, and with North Carolina and South Carolina, they esseeed that of Maryland by over $20,000,000* And of the total capital and surplus of the national banks in Maryland, Baltimore City has all but §8,000,000.
Richmond would be a thoroughly convenient place for a bank to serve Baltimore, and it is certainly more reasonable to require the few banks of Maryland outside of Baltimore with only 18,000,000, capital and surplus to come to Richmond as the parent bank 'than to require the banks of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina,, representing capital and surplus of $>48,800,000*
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis to have to go to Baltimore as the parent bank at a great inconvenience, to say nothing of the territory further south. A branch in Baltimore could better take care of the few banks in Maryland than branches of a Baltimore bank could take care of the many banks in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the southern territory, where large amounts of currency are often needed, and needed quickly. As stated by Colonel Bruton when before you in Washington, it is important to have a sufficient amount of currency within easy reach of the tobacco, cotton and peanut sections of.North Carolina, and this may be said of South Carolina, and the more distant southern points. As shown by the time table filed with the Richmond Brief, currency wired for from Richmond in the evening can reach the greater portion of this territory by business hours the next morning.
Richmond, as stated by Mr. Norwood when before you in Washington, is practically one business day nearer the majority of this territory than Baltimore is.
Respectfully submitted

G e n tle m e n :
In answer to your enquiry as to why my Company,
The Imperial Tobacco Company {of (Jreat Britain & Ireland)
Limited, selected Richmond as a base for directing its to
bacco business in the TTnited States, you are aware that the
Company9 e business in the States is solely that of purchas
ing raw material. Vs buy tobacco on all the markets, or,
at least, ftllef the principal markets in Virginia, Horth
Carolina and South Carolina, and in Kentucky and Tennessee.
We also buy some tobacco in Baltimore which is grown in
Ohio, and also some cigar leaf grown in Wisconsin, Pennsyl
vania and Connecticut*
Richmond is the most centrally located eity, hav
ing large banking and railroad facilities, In the tobaceo
sections in which we operate* It is the most convenient
point from which to issue orders for buying tobacco to the
various markets, and also for the issuance of Instructions
to our various factories scattered throughout the tobacco
districts. Being located in Ricnmond, we can, with the
least loss of time from our office, visit ail of the leading

tobacco markets. The train service leading out of Richmond
is such that I can leave my office in the evening and visit
any tobacco market in Virginia, North or South Carolina, Bal
timore, Lexington or Louisville, the i ollowing day. The
Yirginia North and South Carolina markets can be thus v isit
ed in a day, and by returning to Richmond by night train, I
can accomplish my purpose without the loss of more than one
day from my office. consider this to be a very great ad
vantage, and it was one of the reasons which influenced my
Company to locate in Richmond.
However, the great and prime factor in determin
ing us to locate in Richmond was the ample and convenient
banking facilities. While we do not borrow from the local
Banks, our foreign b ills of exchange are drawn through thtte
Banks, and our system of distributing money from Richmond
Banks to the local markets whereon we buy tobacco is so fa cil
itated by the Richmond Bank connections that our business is
prosecuted with the utmost safety and dispatch and with the
least expense.
You are aware that the volume of our Company1 s
business each year is quite large, necessitating a large
amount of capital to care ior same, all of wnich passes
through the Richmond Banks, including that portion of our
business which is done in Kentucky and Tennessee, which is
very considerable in itself.

RICHMOND, VA., U. S. A.
To Chamber of Comoro#
The mail service from Hiehmond to the main tobacco
markets on wfiieh we operate is most satisfactory; the prin
cipal markets being reached by one of the several trunk rail*
way lines running into and out of Richmond.
The freight rates into Richmond from the various
tobacco sarkets are also very favorable, and when once the
totecco is warehoused in Richmond, the rates to the Atlantic
seaports are much lower than from any of the inland tobacco
m a r k e ts .
The foregoing answers your questions as to why we
selected Richmond »s the base for our operations, and I may
add that we have never had reason to regret this selection.
Tours faithfully,
