George Littel
In 1749 George Littel moved from the wide prairies to the small settlement that would later become Mytuwn City. He built himself a log hut by the side of the river, and realizing that commerce would be the wave of the future, started selling time-shares in condominiums that would someday be built in this fair city.
This endeavor was so successful that he was soon stealing acorns from the squirrels in order to eat.
As he sat beside the river, crunching a roasted acorn, one lovely fall afternoon, he suddenly realized that the bank of the river would be a gold mine once someone invented the riverboat. As he mused on the future of the river bank , the word 'bank' sprang back into his mind.
So, he opened the First River Bank, there on banks of the river, and as it grew and prospered, so did Mytuwn City.
Sam Trust
Sam Trust was the scion of a wealthy Boston family when it was suggested to him that like other young men, he should go west.
Immediately.
Right Now.
Before her father and brothers found him.
So, Sam Trust arrived in Mytuwn with just the clothes on his back, the knowledge in his head, and a couple thousand dollars he happened to have sitting in his pockets.
But, a man as resourceful and intelligent as Sam Trust never stays down forever, and before long, Sam Trust had won the respect and admiration of everyone at the DewDrop Inn. The regulars soon invited him to sit in on their friendly poker games, and as word of his silly habit of raising when he held an inside straight spread throughout town, he got invited to many more exclusive parties.
Several weeks later, in a friendly game with the Mayor, the Sheriff, the Judge, the President of the Chamber of Commerce and George Littel the 4th, Sam Trust had an amazing run of luck, and soon the most influential people in town were deeply indebted to him.
Shortly after this, George Littel the Fourth announced that Sam Trust was accepting his offer for half the stock in the First River Bank, and that they would be changing the name of the bank to the Littel Trust Bank.
Regrettably, Sam Trust was shot shortly thereafter by the irate husband of one of the tellers when he caught Sam making an After Hours deposit with his wife.
But, the name and spirit of Sam Trust still lives on in the motto of the Littel Trust Bank -
"Trust Me"
