Park Falls, WI First NB, Ch. # (M)10489 PMG 20 $5 1902 DB Fr. 597 SN 236/Y189903A pp D/354 dtd. Jan. 26, 1914. The total number of sheets issued by this bank was just under 5,000 with only 410 sheets of $5 DBs, and with a large size outstanding of $1,020, indicating limited possibilities for new discoveries from here. This evenly circulated and well centered example has purple stamped signatures. This YA note would have been produced in 1914 shortly after the bank rec'd its charter. F.J. Kandutsch served as Cashier from the start (1914-18). J.B. Saunders signed as cashier yet didn't appear as Cashier in Comptroller of the Currency reports until 1919. The faded president's signature is that of G. Waldo also consistent with a note signed a few years after production. A fault-free, evenly-circulated example previously from the Chet Krause Collection.

| Walden, NY The Third NB Ch. # 10923 PMG 15 $5 PB |
Walden, NY The Third NB Ch. # 10923 PMG 15 $5 1902 PB Fr. 606 Radar SN 16361 pp D/1361 dtd. Nov. 4, 1916. Somewhat faded, purple signatures of C.W. Kay, Cashier, and Elmer Dell, President. A circulated Plain Back from this Orange County bank that had an interesting history. While it called itself the Third National, it was actually a recharter of the NB of Walden which had been a recharter of the Walden NB. Therefore, while Walden legally had three national banks over the years, they all occupied the same physical premises in successive order. In belated recognition of this fact, the Third NB changed its name to the First NB&TC in May 1930. A couple of minor repairs have been noted by PMG.
Walden is a boys' name of Old English origin, and the meaning of Walden is "wooded valley". Also form of Waldo, but better known from Thoreau's book and the pond "Walden".
