Historical Snyder County Watercolors, by James Dippery

Six Historically Significant Locations, Painted In Watercolor by James Dippery
For the Tri-National Bank, 1971

While in a thrift store in Middleburg, I came across these six prints, all with a note on the bottom: "1971- An Original Watercolor - The Tri National Bank Collection - Middleburg Pa"

A quick newspaper search turned up the following advertisement:

In 1971, The Tri-National Bank commissioned James Dippery of Middleburg to paint a collection of paintings depicting scenes of historical interest.  

Reproductions of the collection could be purchased for $10, or $2 each.  A brochure written by Dewey S. Harrold described the historical background of each painting, and was included with the purchase.

The Prints:

The Middleburg Railroad Station

Governor Simon Snyder House, Selinsgrove

Graybill's Store, Richfield

Hassenplug Covered Bridge, Mifflinburg
