[[caption]] Mr. and Mrs. James M. Strong, Consultants, recently made a $100,000 Time Deposit, at a preferential interest rate of [[cutoff]] for one year on behalf of their client, the Kellogg Corporation of Battle Creek, Michigan. [[/caption]]

In making the deposit, the Strongs noted that Kellogg Corporation was making similar deposits with fourteen (14) minority banks throughout America.

Sharnia "Tab" Buford, President of Freedom National Bank of New York, noted that Kellogg agreed to make this deposit in the Bank during the 51st Annual Convention of the National Bankers Association, Inc. held several weeks ago in Los Angeles, California of which he was in attendance.

He also noted that this type of deposit is of particular significance in view of its reduced rate during a period when short term rates are approaching 10½%. Such deposits will help us sustain the profitability Freedom National Bank has enjoyed during the past year, reported Buford.
