Heer, Cash. This we found out: Bank founded in 1903 or 1904. Selby was president until he died in 1927 and Heer was cashier for the same period, succeeding Selby in 1928 as president. So the purse was issued no later than 1927. After Heer's death and a merger in 1930, the bank was renamed the Security Central Bank, of which James B. Pugh is now president, Cyril Grillot of Ohio brought in the purse." (article included). Estimated Value $250 - 300
