Savings Bank began business in 1910 in a room, which was also
used to store salt. One hundred pound bags of salt, used for
hog killing, were stored in the room. Lots of times, the salt
would spill out from the sacks particularly during damp weather
as the sacks burst from the moisture. So, it is only natural
that its origin provides such quips as “the Bank’s
been salting it away ever since.”
The Bank was organized by the late George C. (Boss) Bounds
of Hebron and A. W. Sisk of Preston to serve the financial
needs of the business and farming community in the Hebron
area.
The Bank has grown tremendously from its initial investment
of $25,000 in 1910. We have survived the
Great Depression, two world wars, banking de-regulation,
Y2K, and
increased competition from both bank and nonbank competitors,
such as brokers and credit unions.
Our market area has expanded to include small to mid-size
businesses, farmers, and individuals in the Wicomico, Dorchester,
and Somerset Counties in Maryland and lower Sussex County
in Delaware.
We hope that our business will continue to prosper by holding
on to those elements that have served us so well over the
last ninety years – personal customer service and attention
to detail. We will also continue to add new branches and new
technology as needed to provide our customers with even greater
convenience.
