Songbook, Christmas Carols, First National Bank St. Louis, Christmas Club Corp., Carolers Cover, Missouri, Vintage 1955

In 1921, First National Bank in St. Louis was the largest national bank west of the Mississippi. In 1955, they handed out this.

Founded in 1919 at Broadway and Locust in St. Louis, the First National Bank grew into a regional powerhouse before eventually being acquired by NationsBank in 1996 — which merged with BankAmerica in 1999 to become Bank of America. This cheerful little 1955 carol book, published by Christmas Club a Corporation of New York, was their annual holiday gesture to savings club customers. The cover features a group of carolers, and the book is in pristine NOS condition — 10 songs, no wear, no writing, colors as bright as the day it was printed.

A perfect small gift for the ephemera collector, the St. Louis history enthusiast, or anyone who loves American banking's lost holiday traditions.
