By Mike Elswick | Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 10:42 AM

Southside Bancshares chairman and CEO B.G. Hartley will preside over the daily closing bell ceremony for the Nasdaq market exchange in New York City’s Times Square at 3 p.m. today.

Tyler-based Southside Bancshares operates a main Longview branch on Judson Road where Mike Northcutt serves as president. Southside also has supermarket branches in Longview Super 1 Foods and Kroger stores.

“We are honored to be ringing the closing bell at Nasdaq,” Hartley said in a prepared statement. “Our 10 year association with Nasdaq has been extremely positive, providing Southside Bancshares Inc., increased exposure that has been an integral part of our growth.”

Southside Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company with approximately $2.2 billion in assets that owns 100 percent of Southside Bank and Fort Worth National Bank. Southside Bank and Fort Worth National Bank currently have 44 banking centers in Texas and operate a network of 45 ATMs.
