New Vienna Bank and Fred A. Eaton Men's Clothing ads from 1924-1927 Clery's Rural Mail Directory for Clinton County, Ohio
Almost a century later the bank is still open although now part of NB&T. Fred Eaton was most likely a competitor of Philips Bros. Clothing which later became Huffman Clothing where the long time employee was Bill Holmes. Fred was the father of Doris Eaton Jones, and an uncle of Virginia Hildebrant, therefore a great-uncle of Janie Hildebrant Pidgeon.
Below are copies of the three pages covering New Vienna's RFD 1, 2 and 3, that list the people and the roads covered on each route. Interestingly (and for privacy sake?) the people for each route are listed in alphabetical order. Not sure how many of these families continue to occupy the same location -- that's research for someone who knows who lives there now. I do see some familiar names. Some of the road names have since changed, e.g. Highland Pike [SR-28], Centerville Pike [SR-729?], Willettsville Road [SR-124?], James Roads Pike [near James Roads house presumably].
If you are interested in the small print the number after the name is the number of acres with "O" denoting ownership, "R" renter, "L" laborer. "L" with O or R denotes lot.

Note the ad at the top for funeral homes, including Littleton which is still doing business in Sabina and then the ad in the middle stating "The old must die. We are young and want your cream. A. L. Kirk, Wilmington Produce Co."
