105 continued in this organization by reason of this officer’s ability to know how to lead, persuade, cajole, and exude an exuberance with all who worked with him, which caused his co-workers to give their best efforts to the good of the institution for which they were a part. It seems worthwhile to record here one of Mr. Potts’ favorite phrases when he was trying to get across or over to his staff that there must be developed a greater precision of mind and action, a penetration of thought and view with accuracy of thought, or to install a new method of operation: Remember! This is the Bank of Gibraltar!” Roy E. Potts’ affableness, his social inclination, his willingness to always contribute his time, energy, good will and enthusiasm to any banking organization soon commented his good judgment to an understanding of banking in a circle larger than the limitations of the small resources of this Bank in 1935. This departed gentleman of the persuasion of the Methodist faith was always conscious of his responsibility to his wife, his children, his mother, father, his brothers and his community.

Hardesty were appointed as directors, filling the seats made vacant by Messrs. Potts and Glascock. The Bank purchased Henson’s Barber Shop north of the bank on June 13, 1963 for $6,500 to allow for remodeling and a drive-through window. Mr. W. E. Henson owned the building and operated under the name of Robert’s Barber Shop. In a related story, a bank ad ran in 1964 stating “Beatle haircuts are all the rage, but will undoubtedly fade into obscurity once the next fad comes along. In marked contrast, our bank is a solid, dependable firm which has been in the
