Mr. Doe used the name "Central Bank of Wisconsin" from January, 1853.

The evidence

• “In the fall of 1852 Mr, Doe had an office in the Stevens house block on West Milwaukee street, where he advertised the business of "Banker and Exchange Broker," He probably continued the business at that place until the Stevens house was burned, in April, 1853. After occupying for two months the front room over the store, which is now known as No. 109 West Milwaukee street, Mr. Doe moved late in 1853 into the building erected that year by William M. Tallman, now known as No. 15 West Milwaukee street, where he continued as a private banker until September, 1855. From January, 1853, Mr. Doe used the name "Central Bank of Wisconsin," for reasons which will be shown later on in this article.”
