The Bank WILA started about twelve or thirteen years ago by a number of well-known business men. Mr. Ma Ying-biu, of the Sincere. Compay was the first managing director until 1931 when Mr. Wong Kwok-shuen took over his position. The Bank has branches in Tientsin and Shanghai and has an office in Yanmati, opposite the Majestic Theatre. All these, it is understood, have followed the step of the head offieć here.
The building in which the Bank now situated was built in 1932 by the institution itself at the cost of about eight lakhs, but shortly after its opening was mortgaged to Hongkong and Shanghai Ranking Corporation.
It is understood that a winding- up petition will soon be made, at the Supreme Court.
