FIFTY YEARS OF PROGRESS

1889 to 1939
OF
THE WASHINGTON LOAN
AND TRUST COMPANY
Washington selected the site of the Nation's Capital and founded the city that bears his name in 1789. Just one Hundred
years later a group of outstanding citizens of the city secured a charter and established the first corporate fiduciary to admin
ister the estates of individuals and also to provide facilities for every form of financial service.
Its history has been a record of steady, continual growth which is the consequence of courteous consideration of customers
and the conservative but progressive policy instituted by the first board of directors and scrupulously maintained by their
successors. Service of the highest standard has been rendered to the residents of Washington and to thousands throughout
the Nation and in many parts of the world.
j For the extraordinary measure of pub he confidence and goodwill it has enjoyed from 1889 until now—for every oppor
tunity for service, great or small, accorded to it by its valued patrons of the past and of the present—for the ever increas
ing number of new friends whom we welcome every day—The Washington Loan and Trust Company on this, its 50th anni
versary, gratefully acknowledges its sincere appreciation with the assurance of steadfast adherence to its policy and purpose to
render reliable and complete financial and fiduciary service in the future as in the past.
