A Personal Word to Depositors in The United States Trust Company Naturally, I would not have bought The United States Trust Company without a very thorough investigation of its affairs.

But now that it has come into the hands of The Munsey Trust Company, its strength is increased by the full measure of strength of The Munsey Trust Company over two millions of dollars.
