6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 26, 1997 Grange National Bank celebrates 90th year Grange National Bank, which opened its newest office in Trucks- ville earlier this year, is celebrat- ing its 90theyear of operation. Founded in Laceyville in 1907, the bank has remained indepen- dent and has kept the original main office throughout its his- ‘tory. Grange National Bank was one of a chain of National Banks organized under the supervision of J.G. McHenry and W.F. Hill, Masters of the State Grange Asso- ciation. It was founded as a busi- ness necessity, mainly for farm- ers in the county. But it was never intended to be only a “farmers’ ~ bank.” : According to an article pub- lished in the February, 1908 is- sue of The Pennsylvania Grange News, about $21,000 was depos- ited in the bank on its opening day of business, Nov. 27, 1907. There were 160 original stock- holders, and the number has grown to more than 750. Grange National Bank now operates nine full-service offices in four counties in northeastern Pennsylvania, three of them with ATM machines. Even though the bank has remained a hometown type of business, every effort has been made to keep abreast of ‘modern technology. Grange Na- tional offers its own Internet web site at www.grangebank.com with links to several financial services. Two committees are working on offering debit cards and home banking services; the debit cards are expected to be available by the end of the year. The bank will soon begin to sell insurance and a trust department has been added to the list of ser- vices offered. Grange National Bank has con- sistently been listed among the highest-rated institutions in the nation. It has earned nine con- secutive five-star rankings from Bauer Financial Reports, and was named the ninth best performing bank in the U.S. by the Bank Stock Analyst newsletter. Grange has also received an “outstand- ing” rating from the Comptroller of the Currency for its perfor- mance meeting the credit needs of its communities. Visitors are invited to stop in a any branch to join in the 90th birthday celebration. “It is still possible to find a bank with the same friendly, hometown service that people long for in the busy world today,” said Tom Mc- Cullough, president. “Everyone is welcome to come in and visit over a cup of coffee, to reminisce about the ‘good old days’ or just to take a break from busy schedules to learn about our his- tory.” Offset becomes first ISO certified mass market book printer in world ~~ DALLAS — Offset Phpetliatk “Mfrs., Inc. has joined an elite group .of companies worldwide who have provided proof of compliance to “the internationally accepted ISO 9002-1994 Quality Standard.
