Many of what are today its most highly developed sections were then farmlands. Forty years later, in 1906, the Borough of Brooklyn had a population of 1,437,000 about one-half the present total and Brooklyn Trust Company had deposits of $15,894,000. Today the Company serves Brooklyn's people through 23 banking offices, and its deposits exceed $123,000,000. Tomorrow Brooklyn enters upon a new era of progress with the removal of the noisy, darkening "El" from its principal business thoroughfare. In this new period of improvement, we hope to continue to serve the banking and trust requirements of the people of a brighter, better Brooklyn in ever increasing measure, as has been our privilege in the past.
