A T THE Government's request,
-- Philadelphia ,'Banks recently
participated in a syndicate
loan of one hundred million dollars
to finance the Cuban Sugar crop.
This is of special interest to Phila
delphia's large sugar refineries with
a production of one billion eighty
one million pounds yearly, but it is
of greater interest to us because it
augurs a wider range 'of operations
for American Banking and Ameri
can Business.
We are being educated, in spite of
ourselves, to the opportunities
which await us in foreign markets.
Are you preparing to secure your,
share of this new business?
The foreign exchange facilities of
thisBank has been developed to help
the pioneer, as well as those con
cerns already established in the field
of international trade.
