content: This proof sheet for $5 national bank notes was approved on March 23, 1886 by the Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Within a three year period including the depiction for the name of this bank, the BEP engravers used a remarkable variety of fonts which have proven popular among collectors of Brown Backs or Series of 1882 notes. This is a fine example. Don Kelly in the third edition of his book National Bank Notes(1997) reports that this bank was organized in February 1886 and went into receivership in July 1929. There are fifteen known examples among collectors of national bank notes for this bank.
