Keep It Safe!

July 26, 1924, Menasha Record

The Roaring Twenties were a time of excess and fiscal bounty so is it any wonder the local banks would encourage their patrons to secure their valuables in one of their special safe deposit boxes?  We here at the blog would like to think the staid Menashans of the 1920's weren't the stereotypical flappers and bootleggers as portrayed on the silver screen, so their investments and spending might be more on the conservative side.  But still, a sentimental heirloom or a valuable coin collection might make their ways into such a secure environment.
