Highlights of the History of the State Bank of Chanhassen
The Chanhassen State Bank was incorporated in 1919. It opened for business in a
building adjacent to Pauly's Bar.The other businesses on Chanhassen's main street atthattimewerePauly's Fairway Grocery next to Pauly's Bar, and Joe's Bar west of thebankbUilding, and the feed mill across the street. There was very little growthduringthe1920's and 1930's. When the Minnesota Victoria Oil Company built a new D-XStationacrossthestreetfromJoe's Bar in the late thirties, it was a big event.The Minnesota Victoria Oil Company sponsored a grand opening celebration, completewithmusicbytheVictoriaConcertBand. Charles Schneider was one of the youngerbandmembersatthattime. He remembers that when the outdoor concert was over, thebandmovedintothebars, instruments and all, and kept on providing many sharps andflats.
During the war years, Elmer KeIrn, the owner of the bank became quite active in theDemocratic-Farmer Labor party, and worked closely with Hubert Humphrey. This led toKeIrn's appointment as Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the St. Paul District. In1946, Elmer KeIrn asked Frank Schneider to become Cashier of the Chanhassen Bank sothatElmercoulddevotefulltimetotheInternalRevenueService.
During this time, the bank had only one other employee, who was on a part time basis,and whose duties included operating the posting machine, waiting on customers, and
preparing the monthly bank statements. Total bank deposits at that time were about340,000. Bank profits were very meager in those days.
In the early 50's, Elmer Kelm sold his interest in the bank to Frank Schneider.Frank then employed his son, Bernard as Assistant Cashier. Bank deposits grewslowly. In 1955, bank deposits were about $485,000, a growth of only about $140,000intenyears. However, thanks to Herb Bloomberg's enterprises, Chanhassen wasbeginningtogrow.
During these early years, the only newsworthy occurences seemed to be several bankrobberies.
In May 1931, the bank was robbed of $1,000 by a lone bandit who forced Elmer Kelm toturnoveralltheloosecurrencyandthenkidnappedhimandabandonedhimontheroadtoMinneapolis.
In November 1948, a lone bandit held up Frank Schneider and forced him to hand over1,450. Frank immediately notified Elmer KeIrn who notified the Hennepin CountySheriff. The bank bandit was captured on Highway 7 just west of Minneapolis withinanhouraftertheholdup. The cash was recovered.
The last robbery occurred in September 1957. The bandit hit Frank Schneider on theheadwithhispistolandlockedhiminthevaultaftertakingabout $1,500 from thetellerscashdrawers. Frank attracted the attention of several people in Pauly's Barbybangingonawaterpipeinthevaultwithamonkeywrench. This robber was nevercaptured.
In 1965, bank deposits had grown to $1,900,000, an increase of about $1,500,000 intenyears. Both Chanhassen and Eden Prairie were growing rapidly. During 1965, FrankSchneidernolongerwishedtodevotefulltimetobanking. He then sold his interestinthebanktosonsBernardandCharles. Bernard became President and Charles becameVicePresidentandCashier. From that time on, the growth of Chanhassen and the

The home talent play "The :\I1dnight
Charge," put on by a. strong and well
balanced cast of the members of the
S1. Hubert's Dramatic Society at the
school hall last Sunday evening, was a
brilliant and particular success, both
artistically and financially, and aver)'
large audience greeted the production
and cheered the amateur thespians to
the echo. In the cast we find the fol.
lOWing well known and capable youngIeople: Miss Elizabeth Schneider, Misll
c;llzabeth Schroeder, :\liss Eleanor Sin-
rnen, Lawrence Schroeder. Paul Klein.
Emil Paul~-, August Sinnen. ~Iartin IRoeser, Ed. Pauly, Ro)' ::)innen. Henry iLubbe, Clarence Gei~er. Arthur Panlr.
Henry Kerber. J05. Klinglehoets, Law-
rence Roeser. Elmer Kelm and Henry
Klein. The play is a splen:iid one and
it proved highly interestinJ; from start Itofinish. Every member of tile cast is
entitled to a vast amount of credit for
the fine manner in which they POl"
trayed the respective roles and many
were of the opinion that it was the fin.
est and most successful home talent
play ever staged and offered to the ,.
public of this community, and we are
glad of the fact :hat the venture was
such a brilliant financial success. Thel
play abounds in comedy of a clean
an1'
clever nature and it proved popular al
the way. The pIa}" will be presente
again this (Tuesday) evening and IV
believe another record audience wi
greet the amateur thespians. '--
