Description

Date: 1929 Source Type: Currency Printer, Publisher, Photographer: Valparaiso National Bank Postmark: Not Applicable Collection: Steven R. Shook Remark: This is a $10 bank note issued by the Valparaiso National Bank, Charter No. 6215, Serial No. A001046A (1929).

In March 1902, William Johnston, Charles W. Benton, and others filed an application with the United States government for authority to organize the Valparaiso National Bank. This newly formed bank was to take the place of the First National Bank of Porter County through reorganization.

The Valparaiso National Bank was located on the west side of Washington Street, across the street from the Porter County Court House. A statement of the bank issued at the close of business on June 14, 1912, showed a capital stock of $100,000, a surplus of $20,000, and deposits of $693,793. At that time, the officers of the bank were Charles W. Benton, president; Leslie R. Skinner, vice-president; A. J. Louderback, cashier; T. L. Applegate, assistant cashier.

The Valparaiso National Bank printed a total of $1,582,130 of national currency beginning in 1902 and ceasing in 1932. The bank printed a total of 1,696 sheets of Type I $10 red seal bank notes. This bank note was signed by Andrew J. Louderback, cashier, and Horace M. Evans, president. Due to the effects of the Great Depression, the Valparaiso National Bank was forced to discontinue operations on January 11, 1932. The First Trust Company in Valparaiso ceased operations on the same day.
