BANKING INSTITUTIONS.
The first bank of circulation and deposit was established in Quincy, in 1836, and called the Quincy Stone Bank. It was a State bank, organized under the State banking laws, with a capital of $100,000, and afterwards increased to $150,000. In 1864, the bank gave up its State charter, and became a national bank under the United States statute, and was called the National Granite Bank, under which system and name it continues still to transact its business.
The Mount Wollaston Bank went into operation in 1853, with a capital of $100,000, and subsequently enlarged it to $150,000. This bank was also estab- lished as a State bank, and about 1864 adopted the national system, and was called the National Mount Wollaston Bank.
The Randolph Bank was chartered in 1836, with a capital of $100,000. Bnsi- ness had become so prosperous that an additional $50,000 was added to the original capital, which has still further been increased to $200,000. This bank also secured the benefits of the national method of banking, in 1864, and under it, organized as a national bank, called the National Randolph Bank, which has been a remarkably prosperous and successful banking institution, having a surplus of $200,000.
The Union Bank of Weymouth and Braintree also transacts banking busi- ness with a capital of $150,000, and was instituted as a mutual banking insti- tution between the two towns of Weymouth and Braintree.
The Quincy Savings Bank was established in 1845. The business of the bank was at first carried on in Mr. Josiah Brigham's store on Hancock street, from whence it was transferred to the Quiney Stone Bank, now the National Granite Bank. After having, for a series of years, transacted its business here in con- nection with this bank, it was finally removed to 84 Hancock street, where it is now successfully managed as a distinct institution, under a separate treasurer. In 1877, its amount of deposit was $1,285,946.96.
The Randolph Savings Bank was incorporated in April. 1831, and is located in the same room with the National Randolph Bank, both being in the fine Turner Stone Library Building. Amount of deposit in 1878, $743,000.
The Braintree Savings Bank was incorporated March 21st, 1870. Number of corporators, twenty-two. Amount of deposits in January, 1877, $76.580.19.
The Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized in March, 1851, and has transacted a large and advantageous business. Its cash fund Jan. 1st, 1878, was $362,116.58. Surplus over re-insurance, $163,370.65.
