                        TRIBUTE TO NAPOLEON BANK

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 22, 2002

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this means to recognize the 
100th anniversary of the Napoleon Bank of Napoleon, MO. This bank has 
given diligent service to eastern Jackson County and western Lafayette 
County citizens since 1902.
  Napoleon Bank was founded in 1902 by local stockholders who felt that 
the area in and around Napoleon needed a bank. After the founding of 
the Napoleon Bank, John Strodtman was named its first president.
  Since 1902, Napoleon Bank has outgrown its original placement and has 
had several additions, including five since 1966.
  Mr. Speaker, the citizens of Napoleon can be proud of the 100-year 
history of the Napoleon Bank. I know the Members of the House will join 
me in congratulating Napoleon Bank on a century of the fine service.
