The bank’s centennial advertisement identifies Market Street National Bank in Shamokin, and the building image carries the address 12 South Market Street.

Sixty-Four Years at One Location

In 1964 the bank described itself as having occupied its location for 64 years. The public profile keeps that as the advertisement’s historical statement rather than turning it into an unsupported claim about every corporate or building transition.

A Downtown Institution in the Centennial Record

Its inclusion among the centennial’s business histories places banking within the everyday downtown of stores, offices, newspapers, and public events. Account holders, assets, and market-rank claims are not inferred from the advertisement.
