The “Fletcher Avenue Savings and Loan Association” is listed in the 1906 city directory for Indianapolis at 933 Fletcher Avenue, but not in the 1905 or 1904 directories, so I guess they were founded sometime during 1905. By 1913 they had moved to East Market Street, but kept the “Fletcher Avenue” part of their name. They were still in operation during/after the war but, by then, businesses had stopped using the swastika (in either of its orientations) as a good luck symbol because of its association with the Nazi party.
