New National Bank Under Consideration in Estherville
Depositors packed the Estherville court room to discuss starting a new national bank in the old National Bank building. Mr Stewart the state bank examiner outlined that reorganization would need more capital than starting anew and proposed purchasing the old building for cash dividends while housing the new bank with the other institution. A resolution, unanimously passed, set restrictions on capital and structure and named a seven member committee to push the creation of the Farmers County National Bank with an initial paid-in capital of 100000 and surplus of 25000.
