Mayor White’s Message n this forum from time to time I have talked about non-profit organizations and businesses that have contributed to the success of Maple- Iwood. One of the businesses that has contributed so much to the success of Maplewood is Citizens National Bank. On the 100th Anniversary of Citizens National Bank I would like to thank them and acknowledge their contributions to the City of Maplewood. This community bank has stayed with the City of Maplewood Mayor through good times and bad times. They have been one James White of the center pieces of our Maplewood business community. They had the first drive through windows west of the Mississippi River. By 1954 over 6500 automobile drivers were using this service monthly. During the 1960’s and 1970’s two major fires on Manchester Ave. and a downturn in the Maplewood business district did not alter their commitment to Maplewood. All this time they continued to be a community partner with personal and business loans being made in the area. Many Maplewood residents also were employed by the bank and had distinguished careers before retiring. In celebration of their 100th Anniversary Citizens National Bank has printed a calendar that details their growth over the years. If you have an opportunity to acquire one of these calendars I am sure you will enjoy going through and viewing the pictures and comments about their success. I would like to congratulate Citizens National Bank for being chosen as the Maplewood Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year for 2014. I personally would like to thank them for being a great community partner and an important part of our community. Sincerely, Mayor James White Page 2 the Maple Leaf March / April 2015 Business Buzz New Businesses in Maplewood!
