THE WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WAUPACA, WIS.

Name Changed From The Waupaca County National By Vote of Stockholders.

 

            The oldest National Bank in the county which was organized in 1890 under the name of the Waupaca County National Bank, by a vote of the shareholders May 3, changed the name to the First National Bank of Waupaca, Wis., which name has been accepted by the United States Department of Banking and is hereafter to be known and recognized under the above title.  This bank is one of the solid institutions of the county and has had a steady growth of business and prosperity ever since it was established.  When it was first established as there was no other National Bank in the county the stock-holders had considerable personal pride in naming it after the county, but as other National Banks have been established and our own city has the county name it was thought advisable to change the name to the First National Bank of Waupaca, Wis.

            We congratulate the stockholders and officers of the bank on their good judgment as well as the prosperity of their bank.  The prosperity of the banks in Waupaca and other cities and villages of our county is a positive index of the prosperity of the farming and other industrial enterprises in our resourceful section of Central Wisconsin.
