1929 Series $10 from THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NATRONA, PENNSYLVANIA, SERIAL A000702
TYPE #2 CHARTER #5729
The original village of Natrona – then known as East Tarentum – was built as a company town by the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company in the 1850s. It received its name from “natron”, a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
The company began with two salt wells in 1850, and continued operations until 1959. By 1876, the company, which owned the cryolite deposits of Greenland, brought the crude mineral to its works in Natrona, where the mineral was pulverized, sifted, heated, reacted with calcium carbonate, and leached to produce pure carbonate of soda (sodium carbonate) and aluminate of soda (sodium aluminate).
This is one of the #53 small-size notes known in the census for this Allegheny County bank. There are #8 large-size notes. We graded this one Very Fine, dark over-print, hand cut from the sheet it was on. Nice example for this Allegheny County Bank.
