According to Fater Shephard, manager of the Standard Trust branch in Goderich, net income for the company increased to $3,899,000 for the first six months of 1986 - compared to $2,954.000 for the same period in 1985. Total assets of the company at Jiine 30 this year were $1,180,554,000 compared with $1,087,330 a year earlier. And continuing another tradition, Stan- dard Trust announced increased dividend payments to shareholders. The dividend payment for 1986 will be 95 cents, an in- crease of 27 percent from the 75 cents paid in 1985, with the indicated annual dividend now $1 per share. During the . second quarter, growth was achieved' in the brunch network as well. In Ontario, a new branch was opened in Newmarket, while the branch in Chatham was moved to larger premises in order to accommodate the increased depositor base. Standard' Trust expanded its presence in Quebec at the same time, with the opening of a new branch in Montreal. And not forget- ting Western Canada, the Standard Trust branch in Winnipeg was expanded to a full savings and mortgage operation. Further growth for the balance of 1986 is assured through. the planned opening of two more new branches. At present, Standard Trust has 24 bran - chs nation-wide., As Shephard says, "The solid financial performance of the company, and the opera- tional growth indicated by these branch openings provide a real benefit to the depositors of Standard Trust First, there is the stability inherent in a company that has a steady pattern of growth year by year, and that has an asset base of over $1.1 billion."
