The Wauconda Bank was opened again Saturday afternoon, and under the direction of Harry T. Fuller, the depositors were paid off in full. The president of the bank, Frank L. Komp, of Kenosha, Wis., was present. The depositors strolled in leisurely, knowing that their money was ready for them, and no crushing or jamming was experienced, as in a run on a bank. Our citizens have had a banking experience they will not soon forget, and the only banking institution which will be able to do business here now will be a local stock company. Mr. Stroker, of Palatine, who has had several years experience in the banking business in Chicago and is now employed in the Bank of Chicago, was here the first of the week discussing the proposition of a local stock company bank with our citizens. We feel that a good bank would be a benefit to our village and the matter will likely be taken up.
