Upon opening, the bank ran an ad in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, which stated, "Answering a vital public need, the American State Bank opens today."[2] The American State Bank has had unusual continuity of management - there have only been two presidents since its inception. The first president, Jack Payne, had a term lasting from the banks first opening until 1974. He was succeeded by the current president, W. R. Collier.
