The bank

recently opened a Palmetto office and Terry Bright was

appointed branch manager.

"We

are delighted to have Terry Bright as our manager there.

He has been with FAIRBANCO for two years and has 20 years

banking experience," said FAIRBANCO vice-president

Nina Ray.

The

Palmetto branch will serve one of the company's primary

customer areas.

"Approximately

20 percent of our existing customer base is from the

Palmetto area, and with the growth in this area, it's an

excellent opportunity to gain new business," said

Bob Fuller, president and chairman of FAIRBANCO.

The bank is

one of the largest locally owned banks on the southside

and has offices in Fairburn, Union City, Peachtree City

and Palmetto. The bank has been meeting customers' needs

since 1891.

"Our

rates and products will be competitive. We are doing a

16,000 piece mailing to Palmetto and the surrounding area

to let the area residents know we are open," said

Bright.
