Newell Banking and Business Pioneers Told in Centennial Sketch
The history chronicles Newell’s early banks and merchants from A. M. Harris and S. A. Parker’s private bank of 1872 to the 1963 open house at The First National Bank. It notes the Miller and Chaney and other family driven ventures, postwar growth, and Bud’s Super Market lineage with Coulson’s drug store and community grocers shaping the town.
