The Peoples Bank at Harrison Meeting with
the Approval of the Citizens:
The .Courier has pleasure in.
chronicling the signal success
made by the Peoples bank at Harrison, since that institution opened
on June Isfc^ Seldom does towns
the size of Harrison give to such an
establishment substantial evidence
of their confidence so promptly, bdt
in this case there is every reas.ou to
believe that the Peoples bank has
come to stay, and that by those
whoiurnlshed tbe required capital
can well be felt that their investment will bring ample returns.
Thirty-four stockholders, made
up of'business men and .farmers
of northern Clare county, have
banded- together for the establishment of this bank, and its first
months business fdlly justifies their
belief that such an enterprise was
demanded.'
