Legend of Vernal bank.....

[Old 97]

Interesting story.
Way back when, it was too expensive to ship bricks for the bank's construction.
Solution was to mail each brick though the United States Postal Service.
Favorite part of the saga is the railroad was involved.
I couldn't locate a suitable reference to share, (Too much interwebs garbage on sites) so I'll let you guys search it out.
Anyways, it's a great name for a bank on your layout.
And you can modify the "Legend" to fit your needs.

Side note here. Vernal Utah, has always been a special place for me since childhood. Not as many places in the United States as closely associated with dinosaurs than Vernal. Collected some of my first dino bone near there. Then there is the Unitah Railway just up the road a bit.
