the  Corporation's  Board of  Directors  may, if it deems it  advisable,  make a
further solicitation by mail,  telephone,  telegraph,  and/or personal interview

Shareholders  are asked to complete,  sign, and return the enclosed  proxy.  The
proxy  may be  revoked  by you at any time  before  it is  voted  at the  Annual
Meeting.  Prior  to the  Annual  Meeting,  this  may be done by  execution  of a

The Board of Directors  proposes that the thirteen (13) nominees  named below be
elected to serve as directors  for the ensuing  year and until their  successors
are elected and  qualified.  Proxies  received by the Board of Directors will be
voted FOR the election of the following thirteen (13) persons,  unless otherwise
indicated,  but,  if any such  nominee  is  unable to  serve,  due to  presently
unforeseen  circumstances,  proxies may be voted for another person nominated by
the Board of Directors.  All of the persons nominated as directors are currently
directors of the Corporation and were elected at the last annual meeting held on
June 10, 1998, for a one year term which expires at the 1999 Annual Meeting. All
of the nominees have  consented to serve if elected,  and the Board of Directors
is not  aware of any  nominee  who may be  unable  to serve as a  director.  The
directors  and officers of the  Corporation  beneficially  own a majority of the
Corporation's outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, assuming that all directors
and  executive  officers vote for the nominees  listed  below,  election of such
nominees is assured.

There is a family relationship between two of the nominees for directorship. Mr.
Bauer is Mr. Ulrich's uncle.

The   Corporation's   Board  of  Directors  has  standing  Audit  and  Executive
Committees. The Executive Committee is composed of Messrs. Fedderly,  Gravitter,
Karbiner, Krantz and Puetz. The Executive Committee's purpose is to exercise the
powers of the full Board between regular meetings of the Board. During 1998, the
Executive  Committee  held four  meetings.  The Audit  Committee  is composed of
Messrs. Fedderly, Krantz, Lauterbach, McGovern and Werry and its function is (a)
to  review  the  results  of  audits  of the  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries
performed by the Corporation's  internal auditors,  (b) to meet with, and review
the results of audits of the Corporation and its  subsidiaries  performed by the
Corporation's independent public accountants, and (c) to recommend the selection
of  independent  public  accountants.  The Audit  Committee  held three meetings
during 1998.  The Board of Directors has not  appointed a nominating  committee,
and the review of  recommendations  for, and the selection of, nominees to Board
membership  is handled  by the Board  serving as a  committee  of the whole.  If
shareholders  were to  recommend  nominees for  directors,  the full Board would
consider such persons.  Shareholders  are entitled to nominate  persons from the
floor at the Annual Meeting,  but it is intended that the proxies solicited with
the Proxy  Statement will be voted for the slate of the thirteen  persons listed
in the table above as nominees to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors
does not have a compensation committee.

The Board of Directors held four meetings  during 1998. All incumbent  directors
attended  75% or more of the meetings of the Board and the  committees  on which
they served  during  1998,  except for Mr.  Gravitter  who attended 50% of those
meetings.

                        REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                            ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive  compensation,  including  that of the C.E.O.,  consists  primarily of
salary and cash bonus.  The  C.E.O.'s  compensation  is  determined  in the same
manner as the other executives.

The  bonus  portion  of  executive   compensation   is  based  entirely  on  the
Corporation's  return on assets.  If the  return on assets for the twelve  month
period  ending in November is less than the minimum  amount of one percent (1%),
no cash bonuses are paid. If the return on assets exceeds the minimum, the bonus
is computed as a percentage of salary based on a formula such that as the return
on assets  increases,  the bonus  percentage goes up at an increasing  rate. The
same bonus percentage is applied to all officers of the Corporation.


<PAGE>



Except  for the  bonus,  there is no  specific  relationship  between  corporate
performance and executive salaries and benefits. In 1998, executive compensation
was determined by the President and Executive Vice President of the  Corporation
considering  the following  factors  without  assigning  any relative  weight or
importance to any factor:

         1.       Current compensation;
         2.       Cost of living;
         3. Salaries paid to executives at other banks;  4.  Performance  of the
         bank  during  the  prior  year;  5.  Prospects  of  future  growth  and
         performance; and 6. The individual performance of the executive.

Stock price is not a factor in determining executive salaries or bonuses.

The salaries  determined  by the President and  Executive  Vice  President  were
submitted to the full Board of  Directors  for  approval.  After  reviewing  the
recommendations,  the Board  members had an  opportunity  to discuss any factors
they  deemed  relevant - there was no agenda or  specific  list of factors to be
discussed.  The  recommendations  of the President and Executive  Vice President
were approved by the Board without adjustment.

The  Corporation  continues to follow its long standing  policy of not providing
its  executives  with many of the non-cash  perquisites  given to  executives of
similar  companies.  Executives  receive no stock rights,  options,  warrants or
stock appreciation  rights. The Corporation does not provide memberships for its
executives in country clubs or other social clubs.  Also,  executives receive no
special retirement  benefits or deferred  compensation - they participate in the
same retirement plan provided to non-executive employees of the Corporation.

                                 DIRECTORS' FEES

In 1998,  the  directors of the  Corporation,  who were not also officers of the
Corporation, received $300 for each Board meeting attended.


                  LOANS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT

The  Corporation  has never made any loans to any of its officers or  directors.
However,  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,   the  Corporation's  banking
subsidiary made loans during 1998 to officers and directors of the  Corporation,
and to business  firms in which  officers and directors of the  Corporation  are
officers,  partners or in which they have a substantial interest. The loans made
by the Corporation's banking subsidiary were made to the Corporation's  officers
and directors and certain of the companies with which they are associated in the
ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms,  including interest
rates and collateral,  as those  prevailing at the time for comparable  loans to
unaffiliated  persons or firms,  and do not  involve  more than a normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

The estate of David A. Ulrich, a former officer and director of the Corporation,
is the principal  shareholder in a corporation  that owns buildings  occupied by
the Corporation's central office (the "Central Office") in Oak Creek, a Tri City
National Bank branch office  located in Milwaukee,  and eleven Tri City National
Bank  branch  offices   located  in  Pick  N'Save  food  stores  in  Brookfield,
Greenfield,  Milwaukee,  Oak Creek and West Allis.  The Central Office  building
lease has a five-year term, through 2000, with one five-year renewal option. The
branches  located in local food  stores have lease terms of three to five years,
through December 1999, with three five-year  renewal options.  The annual rental
for 1998 paid in connection with all of the aforementioned  leases was $384,432,
subject to  adjustment  as a result of increases  in the  consumer  price index.
Pursuant to the Central Office lease only, the  Corporation is also obligated to
pay  property  taxes,  insurance  and  maintenance  costs  associated  with  the
building.


                                 OTHER BUSINESS

The Board of  Directors  knows of no other  business  which may come  before the
Annual Meeting.  In the event that any other business not known or determined at
this time does properly come before the Meeting, it is intended that the persons
named in the proxy shall vote in accordance with their best judgment.


                                VOTING OF PROXIES

Proxies  received by the Board of Directors will be voted in accordance with the
specifications  indicated by the shareholder  and unless  authority to vote upon
the election of the directors,  or as to individual nominees,  is withheld,  the
proxies  will be voted FOR all of the  nominees  listed in the Proxy  Statement.
Nominees  receiving the largest number of affirmative votes cast will be elected
as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election.
Any shares not voted  affirmatively,  whether by abstention  or broker  nonvote,
will generally have no impact on the election of directors.


                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

As of the date of this Proxy  Statement,  the Audit  Committee  and the Board of
Directors  have  selected the  independent  accounting  firm of Ernst & Young to
serve as its auditors for the year ending  December 31, 1999.  Ernst & Young has
served as the Corporation's accountants for the past sixteen years. The services
provided by Ernst & Young since  January 1, 1998  consisted  of assisting in the
preparation of financial statements, and audit reports with respect thereto, for
the  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries,   and  providing   assistance  in  the
preparation  of  periodic   reports  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  Representatives  of said firm are  expected  to be  present  at the
Annual  Shareholders'  Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement
if they  choose  to do so and  will  be  available  to  respond  to  appropriate
questions.
     

                             SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS

Proposals  by  shareholders  sought to be  included in the  Corporation's  Proxy
Statement for its 2000 Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders  must be received by the
Corporation no later than December 27, 1999.


                            PENDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No director or executive  officer is an adverse party or has an interest adverse
to the  Corporation  or any of its  subsidiaries  in any material  pending legal
proceedings.


            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCES

The Corporation  believes that during 1998, its officers and directors  complied
with all filing  requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
