The First National Bank of Vandalia was
founded in 1895 and has occupied the pre-
sent building since 1914. It serves 3440 check-
ing account customers, 1655 savings custom-
ers, 3000 loan customers, 1000 safe deposit
customers in addition to many other services.
It was the first bank in this area to open
a Personal Loan and Automobile Loan De-
partment and to enter the field of agricul-
tural credit aggressively. Its services are as
modern as its banking quarters, which include
air conditioning, a dining room and kitchen.
The bank encourages thrift by paying
liberal, higher-than-average, interest
interest rates
on savings and time deposits. The maximum
rate is now 2%.
Dieckmann Hotel is located in The First
National Bank Building. It has long been rec-
ognized as one of the finer hotels of South
Central Illinois. Rooms are large, air cooled
and completely modern.
Abraham Lincoln attended the Legislature
at Vandalia, (the first State Capital of Illi-
nois), riding horseback from his home to
attend the sessions.
