    Description

    This is a Memorial Day 1953 advertising blotter for the Franklin County National Bank of Brookville, Indiana. The blotter measures approximately 3.5 x 5.25 inches.
    The Franklin County National Bank survived the decades; it is now known as FCN Bank.
    FCN Bank opened its doors on January 2, 1901, the first business day of the 20th century. The “Franklin County National Bank” opened with ,000 capital, raised from the selling of 250 shares of stock priced at 0 a share. That first year, the bank recorded net earnings of ,160.97, the first of many profitable years for FCN.
    Originally the bank was located at 517 Main Street, what most Brookville residents known as the Poppers Building. The bank occupied the right-hand side.
    In 1913, the present main bank building was constructed at 501 Main Street. Construction was delayed for many months due to the Great Flood of 1913. In those days, the back of the bank was occupied by the Brookville American newspaper, and its entrance was near the back on the right.
