TAMPICO BANK

The Tampico Bank was organized May 28, 1882, with John W. Glassburn as President; W.W. Craddock, V.P.; Delos Craddock, Cashier. The present bank building was erected at this time by the company. This was the first regular banking institution, though previous to this time Mr. Glassburn kept an account with a bank in Chicago and accomodated merchants and others with exchange. In January, 1885, A.T. Glassburn purchased the interests of the Craddocks, the bank now being conducted by J.W. Glassburn, President, and A.T. Glassburn, Cashier. A satisfatory business has been done since the establishment of the bank. The Glassburns are pleasant and accomodating men and the bank is regarded as a safe institution.
