R. W. Dclion (lett) is congrcrtulcted qnd welcomed into the siockholder lamily bV A, I, Gock, chcrirmon oI the bocrd oI directors oI the Bank of America,

Because he bought 100 shares of stock in the Bank of America, lumberman R. W. Dalton, of R. W. Dalton & Co., San Marino, California, today (January 28) found himself feted by the bank's chairman of the board A. J. Gock and other business leaders in Los Angeles.

Dalton's purchase made him the 200,000th stockholder. As this established a record for widespread ownership of any private enterprise bank, anywhere, and provides a shining example of democratic capitalism in action, a special observance seemed in order.

Dalton, who began r,vork in a lumber yard when he was 17, worked 22 years in various capacities, then invoked his American right to go into business for himself. He pros1>ered, he said today, with the help of his bank and then decided to enjoy another American right-to share in the ownership of that bank through the purchase of stock. "I have been a customer for years, now it feels good to be on the ownership side as well," he declared.

Gock was assisted as host to Dalton at a prominerrt l-os Angeles club by President Terrell C. D:inkwater, of Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and by President W. G. Paul, of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange, plus a number of bank officials.

Dalton learned from them that the average number of shares owned by the 200,000 stockholders of the world's l:rrgest bank is 120. This ownership is so widespread that no individual owns more than 2/l}ths of one per cent of the total, a little knorvn fact. 144,00O of these stockholders live in California, and Gock said: "I am happy to go into any one of the more than 300 California communities where our bank has branches and find more local Bank of America owners than any other bank."

Full ownership of the bank, which started in 1904 with $150,000 and now has total resources of $7.5 billion is held, Gock revealed, by i93,815 individuals and 6,185 institutions, the latter including labor, fraternal and fiduciary organizations, foundations, investment trusts, insurance companies, and savings banks.

Two Lumber Yard Fires qt San Berncrdino

There were two lumber yard fires at San Bernardino the night of January 29. Building materials and equipment valued at $75,000 were lost in a fire at the Suverkrupt Lumber Co. At the same time the Suverkrupt fire was reported, tu'o fire companies were at the Chapin Lumber Co. where a blaze was extinguished causing minor damage.

On the theory the two fires could be more than coincidence, Fire Chief Dwight E. Littleton assigned fnspector Harry E. Wainright and Assistant Fire Prevention Engineer Floyd Bristow to check the possibilities of arson.
