HAMMOND – The Citizens National Bank of Hammond is celebrating its 100th year in business this year and, as any staff member will tell you, that is no small feat.
As the smallest bank in the area and the second smallest bank in New York state, Citizens National Bank has outlasted many other banks that have gone into and out of business over the years, according to President, CEO and CFO Schelin M. Crosby.
“I think it’s our location,” Wayne K. Storie, chairman of the board of directors, said Thursday. “We’re 10 miles from any bank. Employees and stockholders work really hard to keep the bank in town.”
