Book sponsorship, 1910
A book sponsorship for the 1910 Methodist Episcopal Church’s Annual Conference, which is advertising the First National Bank of Joseph’s directors and location. Unlike many banking institutions, First National hardly advertised themselves in local and state-circulated newspapers, so their sponsorship of the Methodist Episcopal Church’s (now United Methodist Church) annual conference indicates the possible religious identification of some of the bank’s directors.
