MINERAL WELLS, Texas, July 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Newly remodeled
City National Bank is getting a new name. Ken Williamson, Chairman, President
and CEO of City National Bank, today announced that the Mineral Wells bank is
changing its name to First Financial Bank, N.A., to better reflect the bank's

"In celebration of our newly remodeled lobby and expanded drive-thru
facilities and in order to better reflect the bank's growing services and
capabilities, we are now changing our name," said Williamson. "Even though
it's a new name, we will continue to be the same customer-focused,
community-based bank with a local board of directors and a local bank
president, who will continue to make local decisions. In addition, we will
continue to offer the longest banking hours available in Mineral Wells to
ensure that our customers can transact business when it is convenient for them
and we are also introducing new, enhanced personal checking products with more
features and benefits than ever before."
"We will remain true to the values and fundamentals that have made us
successful and will be the same bank and the same friendly people," Williamson
added. "Our officers and employees will continue to serve our customers and
be personally involved in and supportive of our community."
