Wheres my reward?

Where's my reward?

I've been working an old ex train station yard that is now and has been for some time now, a bar. I found this today but this bank doesnt seem to be a bank anymore. I've tried to find it online with no luck. I did find mention of it in historic news papers in the early 1900's but nowhere to be found now. I guess this means i don't get the reward?

There's a very detailed history paper written on Penn Yan including a page about their banking history. ( History of Banking in Penn Yan, NY ) The paper was written in 1892 and there was no mention of a Citizen's Bank that I could see in a quick scan. They must have organized later than that.

Another source, "Penn Yan and How it Got That Way," ( http://www.pyhistory.org/Index to PYBook.pdf ) lists on page #12 in the index: "Citizens Bank of Penn Yan: advertisement, 1944: 498." It appears that they were in business in the 40's.

It was probably attached to a huge chest of cash!

No wonder they're not a bank anymore! Using their pennies to flatten out and make key fobs outta them!

Nice piece!

I found it immediately on google, they even have a phone number !!! Maybe you could get something ??

I wonder if the bank was still around and you return it, then you could adjust the reward amount in regards to inflation? (You probably would only make $2)

Thank you 1st but i had found that, also. Turns out, that's just a location for an ATM that accepts citizen bank debit cards. I could be wrong, though. I'll work the google machine one more time. Thanks again.

You're probably right, pointman and that wouldn't cover the gas to stat the car...hehe.
