Nephi National Bank was a great bank.....in 1922!

Not only did they give good interest in the days before the Great Depression, but Nephi National Bank gave free fill in the blank phone books. If you misplaced the book, just call the operator, and she would know who you were calling. In this 97 year old book, we discovered it belonged to LaVon Harris, who grew up a block below the bank. It was convenient to take her hard earned savings to the bank and stop and see her father-Evan Harris, while he was operating the Harris Livery Store nearby. In this case, LaVon used the book to keep track of the Birthday's in the Harris family. We will record this on our history blog, then ship it off to Rachelle Humble who is collecting data and artifacts on the Nephi Harris family since they arrived in Nephi during the 1850's.
