5th  3rd  UNION  TRUST

   On June 1, 1908 the Third National Bank merged with the Fifth National Bank to form the Fifth Third National Bank of Cincinnati. Even though the Third National was the senior partner, the merger took place when the country was starting to become pro prohibition in thinking and it was believed that the name "Fifth Third" was better than "Third Fifth" which might be construed as three "fifths" of alcohol. The name was changed to Fifth Third Bank in March of 1969. The newspaper drawing is of J. M. Glenn who was Vice President of the Fifth National Bank ca. 1905
