Onslow Savings Bank Traces Its 60 Year Origin

Onslow Savings Bank traces its roots to 60 years ago when J. T. Chandler and C. P. Manwaring opened a private bank with 10000 capital. The private bank became incorporated in 1903, later doubling capital, and paid dividends every year since. The 1899 brick building, added in 1934, features an illuminated clock and modern banking equipment.
