State National Bank was closed by the bank moratorium in 1933 and reopened
under new charter as the American National Bank.

Capital and Surplus, $120,000.00.
Pres. Willard Johnston;
Vice President G.E. McKinnis;
Cashier, C.M. Cade;

After the bank became American National Bank--the first officers were:
C.E. Bowlby, President

In 1933 W. E. Harber and H.T. Riddle purchased the bank and remained in the same location
until the bank moved on June 1, 1965 to their present location at the corner of
Ninth and Broadway.  The bank became Arvest Bank in the 1990s.

This building at 2 East Main is still in use on the northeast corner of Main and Broadway.
It is no longer used as a bank, but has various tenants.
