The Probasco family had been bankers in Europe since the 16th century and Harry S. Probasco began work in his father\u2019s bank at age 17. In 1884, the Ohio River flooded Lawrenceburg and he moved to Chattanooga and established himself in the brokerage business.<\/p>\n<p>In 1888, Probasco formed the brokerage firm of Wiehl, Probasco and Company.\u00a0 The first year profits were encouraging but the financial community was concerned that the world markets were unstable.\u00a0 A financial panic followed in 1890 and resulted in seven of the town\u2019s banks collapsing. Wiehl, Probasco and Company survived and rechristened itself Bank of Chattanooga in 1900.<\/p>\n<p>In 1905, Probasco formed a new bank, the American National Bank.\u00a0 The business grew from a modest storefront operation into a national bank. In 1911, the business of the American National Bank was sold to First National Bank and Probasco embarked for Europe with his wife and his son.<\/p>\n<p>Upon his return to America, Probasco, Ben Thomas (who founded the Coca-Cola Bottling Company) and E.Y. Chapin formed the American Trust &amp; Banking Company on January 15, 1912. Probasco served as president of this institution until his death on April 19, 1919.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s special for us to be a part of this event,\u201d said Jim Haley, Chairman of Miller &amp; Martin, PLLC. \u201cOur firm has assisted many of our area\u2019s first entrepreneurs and we\u2019re pleased that many of today\u2019s entrepreneurs also turn to us to assist them as they launch their businesses.\u00a0 We believe our support of this very worthy effort is a great way for us to encourage the backbone of our economy: small business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Steffner and the late Harry S.
