Dinner Bell for June 18, 2025

DINNER BELL, First United Methodist Church 

SPONSOR: Alliance Bank & Payne Electric Co.

 We plan to continue inside dining every Wednesday with the exception of the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Christmas and  New Years Day. 

Alliance Bank was chartered as Sulphur Springs State Bank on June 13, 1927, by the two largest shareholders of First State Bank  that had failed. First located on Main at Gilmer, a fire in 1934 facilitated the move to the Northside of the Sulphur Springs  Square where the bank has maintained a permanent presence. 

The Carnation Milk Plant located in Sulphur Springs in 1930’s provided an economic outlet for milk and dairy products. Attrac tive loans by the Bank allowed cotton farmers to become dairymen and the dairy industry became THE AGRICULTURAL business  for Hopkins County. 

In the 1990’s the bank acquired locations East, West and into the Metroplex thus necessitating the name change to Alliance  Bank. Galyean Insurance Agency and the opening of a brokerage company—Alliance Financial Services—allowed the Bank to  meet the business and personal needs of it’s customers at home or with their businesses. Payne Electric Company was established in 1967 by Floyd Payne as a family-owned, full-service, electric contracting firm. He  died unexpectedly in 1971 and his son Rickey, and wife Kathy, assumed leadership of the business. The firm specializes in con ducting heavy industrial and commercial electrical system installations and service in food plant facilities across Northeast Texas.  They also perform residential and commercial electric work throughout the area. From upgrading panels to wiring the complete home, Payne Electric has you covered. No job is too big and no job is too small for this family-owned and operated business  with over fifty years of quality service.
