There's lots going on in this photo of First National Bank, Ada. The photo was taken in 1923 or 1924. Note the "Join the Harding Memorial Association - here now" homemade sign. President Warren G. Harding, the 29th U.S. president, and Marion native, died Aug. 2, 1923.

Notice the ornate teller's window and the hot water heating system. Was Tim Tighe a customer who just happened to be in the bank when the photo was taken? Or, was he a shareholder? And how about the man on the very far left, partically cut off in the photo?
