The bank has had a phenomenal
growth since the very beginning; the
personnel of the officers and stock-
holders is enough to inspire confidence
in the integrity of the institution.
Mr. J. L. Bennett, the popular and
obliging cashier, is a native of Perry
County, born in 1863, the son of Rob-
ert and Mary Bennett.
He graduated from the New Lex-
ington High School and followed the
occupation of a farmer until 1885.
He then taught school and was en-
gaged in the furniture and undertaking
business in New Lexington for six
years. Previous to engaging in bank-
|
ing, he operated a coal mine near Mc-
Luney for ten years.
In addition to his duties as cashier
of the Crooksville Bank.. Mr. Bennett
is connected with several institutions in
Crooksville, been president of the
Crooksville China Co. since its in-
ception.
He is a live, progressive man of
affairs, and a firm believer in a Greater
Crooksville.
Mr. T. N. Winter, the assistant
cashier, is a son of one of Crooksville's
foremost citizens, born March 9, 1881.
He graduated from the Meredith Busi-
ness College in March, 1902, and after-
|
wards served as clerk in the Burley-
Winter Mdse. Store, for three years
previous to entering upon his duties
as assistant cashier and bookkeeper
of the bank.
The Resources amount to more than
$200,000; the deposits to $160,000.
Three per cent interest is paid on time
deposits.
The bank is fitted up in first-class
metropolitan style, being provided
with the best equipment that money
could purchase, including a Hibbard-
Rodman manganese steel safe, never
known to have been burglarized, and
absolutely fire-proof. No expense has
been spared in this regard, as the bank
officials, with far-seeing thoughtfulness,
realized that it were better as a matter
of future economy and safety to ren-
der the vaults and equipment abso-
lutely impregnable.
