greater philadelphia’s banking roots go deeper than those of any region in the country. philadelphia was the home of the first commercial bank (1782), the first national bank (1791), the first savings bank (1816), and the first savings and loan association (1831). until the mid - 1980s, celebrated local institutions such as first pennsylvania, girard, and provident dominated the region. by the late twentieth century, however, historic regulatory changes led to acquisitions by out - of - town giants and changed the face of the banking industry both locally and nationally .
the issue presented, therefore, is whether the taxpayer, girard trust corn exchange bank, on the facts here involved, was dealing in its own shares as it might deal in the shares of another corporation within the meaning of section 39. 22 (a) - 15 of treasury regulation 118 .
the philadelphia national corporation, which owns the biggest commercial bank in philadelphia, said that the mellon - girard deal would'' create another large and potentially powerful banking combination in the state'' but that it expected to'' continue to be a major factor in banking in eastern pennsylvania.''
the first decade of the nineteenth century saw the establishment of several more banks in philadelphia. adding to the earlier institutions that largely served the needs of governments, upper class merchants, lawyers, and influential businessmen, the philadelphia bank (1803), farmers and mechanics bank (1809), commercial bank (1810), and mechanics bank (1810) were formed by and for artisans, farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers. in 1810, the leaders of the district of northern liberties, just north of vine street but not served by the philadelphia banks, formed the bank of northern liberties. another innovation occurred in 1816 when a group of businessmen, inspired by the success of savings institutions in england and scotland, established the philadelphia savings fund society to cater to small depositors not targeted by commercial banks. the depositors owned this “mutual” savings bank, and shared in its profits. long after the bank’s demise, the iconic psfs sign atop the re - purposed skyscraper at 1200 market street continued to light the center city sky .

contrary to the unequivocal terms of sec. 1842 (a) (3), petitioners contend forcefully that the board is without jurisdiction. they make essentially two arguments to support this contention. first, petitioners note that a different jurisdictional provision permits the board to review transactions in which
any bank holding company or subsidiary thereof, other than a bank, ... acquire [ s ] all or substantially all of the assets of a bank ,
and that the emphasized language creates a
bank merger exception
to that provision. 12 u. s. c. § 1842 (a) (4) (emphasis added). petitioners then argue that congress intended this bank merger exception to prevent
duplicative review
by the board over all transactions, including this one, that are within the comptroller' s jurisdiction. the necessary implication of this argument is that the bank merger exception in sec. 1842 (a) (4) should be read into sec. 1842 (a) (3). the board counters that there is no danger of duplicative review in this case since the comptroller only has jurisdiction over the girard - heritage bank merger whereas the board has jurisdiction over the entire transaction .
