I am reposting now that the picture upload process is streamlined (thank you Admins!) Found this piece recently and it has the advertisement for a bank. It is very fragile and appears to be quite old. The research that I have done has done little to apprise me of a possible date. No local banks have existed in the town since the 1960's and no photographs or maps that I have seen have listed the bank's name. I have found some Sanborn Fire maps that date back to the late 1800s that depict a couple of banks but show no name. If anyone could help or point me in a direction of where to possibly research this piece further I would greatly appreciate it!
The piece reads Farmers and Merchants State Bank --- Cincinnati Iowa
Thanks in advance!
