First state bank
One of first state banks in Texas. Chartered Dec. 11, 1906, it began
operations in a frame building on lot south of here. Present building
was finished 1908 and is now oldest existing commercial building in this
once-thriving trade center. As the town's only bank, it served small
farmers while cotton was king in area. Safe was once stolen and the
vault still has scars from a robbery. Bank was voluntarily liquidated in
1934.
