This Day in Wells Fargo HistoryNovember 7, 1955

Northwestern National Bank, now Wells Fargo, published this ad in Time Magazine celebrating the growing tech industry in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Magazine ad in black and white featuring computer parts assembled to resemble a smiling person. The ad reads, in part: Push button giant. How etched wire circuits-and Northwestern Bank- electrify the business climate of the booming Northwest. At the bottom of the ad is a map of Northwest with the bank's headquarters marked in Minnesota. Along the bottom of the page a line in bold reads: Growing with the Northwest... helping the Northwest grow.
