Toomer in the 1950s

... that Sheldon L. Toomer founded a bank in Auburn, Alabama because he was tired of the day-long trip to the nearest bank?

Source:

"Toomer, tired of taking the nearly day-long trip just to do his banking, decided Auburn needed to have its own bank that would cater specifically to the needs of a college community."
