There'll Be a Grand Opening Soon!


A matchbook recently spotted up for bid on eBay heralding the soon-to-be-opened, new and improved First National Bank in 1964.  Notice the "politically incorrect" workman smoking his pipe!  And that five digit phone number; I'm surprised it's lacking its prefix, PArkway.  That's a fact lost, I'm sure, on our younger readers who've always had seven digit phone numbers.   But that whole telephone discussion is better saved for another day.

  1. I learned about numbers as such from reading Perry Mason! Nice picture. Got any other local match book pictures?

  2. When I took a General Business class as a sophomore at St. Mary's in the late '60s, we toured the bank.
