There are two surviving notes on this bank in Cass County that was chartered in October 1903 and remained in business throughout the bank note issuing period. Only 475 sheets of Red Seals were printed making this note quite rare. This note has pen signatures of J.H. Gale, President and W.H. Simmons, Cashier but they are not terribly clear as the note is VG 8 Net for wear and flaws. A very rare town indeed. PMG notes: splits, trimmed. Hunter is a city in Cass County; the population was 261 at the 2010 census. This Northern Pacific Railroad (later Great Northern Railroad) townsite was founded in 1880 and named for John C. Hunter, a major landowner in the area. The Delno post office, located two miles to the north, moved here June 15, 1881 with Josiah H. Gale as Postmaster, although postmarks with the Hunter name are known as early as April 7,1881. The village, which incorporated in 1885, reached a peak population of 446 in 1960. David H. Houston was a local farmer who was a poet and inventor on the side. He invented the roll-type film process, named it Kodak, and sold the rights to George Eastman of Rochester, New York
