First National Bank Opens Business In New Home.

Today marked the first day of business of the First National Bank in its new home, which has been under construction since early last March. The majority of the citizens were not aware of the fact that the headquarters had been shifted from the temporary quarters back to the former site. The stockholders of the bank are well pleased with their new home, as are the employes. The State bank is settled nicely in its new home in the building from which the Trust and Savings Bank moved and has a very “comfy” appearance and bids fair to be one of the strongest institutions in this section of the state. The Trust and Savings Bank is at the present time transacting business in the rear of the old State Bank building, while their new home is being completed. With the completion of the Trust and Savings building, Rensselaer will be represented by three of the strongest banking institutions in northern Indiana. The three banks pre under very capable and efficient management and the citizens of the city have a right to feel proud of three such strong institutions.
