1 * ? It's A Far Cry . . . From the old Mill Wheel and the "One-hoss Wagin" . . . To the Franklin of Today THE FRANKLIN OF TODAY is built on YESTERDAY ... on the Character of the men and women who laid the ground work. At this Centennial, we pause to pay our respects to them, and to acknowledge the debt we today owe them of yesterday. ALL THROUGH THE CENTURY, this community has been one in which Character counted. And the character of this institution is suggested by the roster of the men who have served it as president: GEORGE A. JONES F. S. JOHNSTON J. S. SLOAN LEE CRAWFORD DR. W. A. ROGERS M. L. DOWDLE FRANK B. DUNCAN 4 FRANKLIN S FIRST HUNDRED YEARS have been marked, too, by a slow but steady growth. The growth in wealth is suggested by the increase in the assets of this bank: TOTAL ASSETS July 1 1903 $10,000.00 1913 240,411.85 1923 470,750.21 1933 182,423.22 1943 872,682.62 1953 . 2,239,817.51 1955 (Statement of May 7) $2,393,173.27 WE ARE PROUD to have had a part, during the last half of the cen tury, in Franklin's development. AS OUR TOWN enters its second century, we look forward to the future with confidence, and with the hope that we may prove even more effective in our efforts to serve the community.
