Farmers Savings Bank of Traer A Historic Local Bank
The Farmers Savings Bank of Traer traces its founding to 1919 with a charter issued in 1921 and initial capital of 550,000. Early leaders included A J McGovern and James A Dinsdale, followed by presidents Logan Earley McMillan and Mew, with Otto Moeller as cashier. The bank originated in the W J Green Meat Market building, moved to a new drive in facility in 1961, and in 1970 expanded into the former Colonial Cafe site. A remodeling project underway aims to modernize with brick and steel facades and increased parking.
