J- is one of those wide awake towns which have found room for increased hanking facilities since the beginning of the year. For some timo past a number 'of Ocean City's reliable citizens have been preparing for the establishment of a modern, well equipped Bank which would l>e aide to accord the public every accommodation consistent with sound banking, and the plans .culminated when the Comptroller of the Currency issued a Certificate of Authority to The first NaUonal Bank, which has commenced business under the most favorable auspices." \ Some of the original Stockholders and Directors who have since passed lb to the beyond were Lewis M. Creese, P. M. Wheaton, Robert Fisher, Joseph I. Scull, S. Wesley I-ake, Charles Mathews and Lslie S, Ludlum. At thetime of it* organization The First National Banr" was the only local ^ banking institution in Cape May County. L. M. Cresse was the first President, Rl B. Stites, Vice-President and W. Scott Hand, Cashier, in January, 1915, R. B. Stites was elected President to succeed - Mr. Cresse; I-eslie S. Ludlum, Vice-President and H. 8. Mowrer, Cashier. Since it* organization it has paid in dividends to Stockholders, $98,000, and interest to depositors on Savings Accounts, $146,257 79.
