Watertown Daily Times photo

Downtown Watertown was the hub of area activity during the 40s and 50’s. This photo was taken during Mobilization Day on July 2, 1942,
when Lieut. Governor Charles Poletti addressed civilian protection volunteers

“In a mutual bank, you get

the full benefit of all monies

earned after adequate reserves

have been set up. There are no

stockholders to whom dividends

must be paid except the actual

depositors of this bank.”

Watertown’s American Corner was a busy crossroads, as
evidenced by this photo of Christmas shoppers in 1952.
