The above ad ran in the Lorain Journal on November 24, 1955 and includes some nice typography, some great illustrations and a photo of the bank.
The below ad is from two years later and ran in the Lorain Journal on November 28, 1957. It includes an interesting bushy-haired, stylized Santa. Actually that's his 'bed head' look since he just got up.
Strangely enough, one of the banks that I do business with – Fifth Third – is in the former Citizens building (below). I like going in there and chatting with Val, Krystal and the rest of the gang.
The bank did a nice job of branding the building as their own. To me, it looks like a bank should!
My Christmas Club account, though, is still over at good old First Federal Savings of Lorain (as I pointed out here).

My long-time N. Hogan Drive neighbor Edna Black worked at CH&S. Sitting on my desk here in Washington, DC is one of the bank's 1950s aluminum counter calendars manufactured in Tulsa, OK. I can send you a photo is you want to post it.
