SIOL'X FALLS (AP) A Texas man Is buying United National Bank of Sioux Falls and plans to merge It with Farmers State Bank of Kramburg.

Under terms of the agreement, United National will merge with the Kramburg bank and get a state charter. Alfred Burke of Longvlew, Texas, bought the Kramburg bank last month. The sale still requires the approval of state and federal regulators end would complete the dismantling of United National. During 1983, the Sioux Falls bank put U-imall town branches on the selling block and later sold Its Rapid City and Hill City branches. Bank President Hurley Wilson said the original goal of selling the branches wis to center the bank's activity In Sioux Falls.

It had been a regional bank with 21 branches in 16 cities. By merging with the Kramburg bank, United Notional will get a state banking charter, Wilson said. Although there are no plans to enter the In- surance business, which a state charter allows, the merger gives the bank that option, he said. "We think we should be prepared to do It," Wilson said. Documents show that the Kranzburg bank would buy United National's assets and assume Its llubllltlos.

The Kramburg bank then would change Its name to United Bank, or something similar, and move Its home office to Sioux Falls. United National then would be dissolved. 1 i I i xioUi weekend, Frosty UUiri I loll III lead over most of th lak tn rfis Don and Kevin Xnettel of 6t.
