Oscar J. Bard was admitted to the bar in 1892. He practiced with Gunckle, Rowe & Shuey, then with Charles W. Dustin. When Dustin became a common pleas judge in 1895, Bard took his place as secretary and attorney for Gem City Building & Loan Association.
Gem City Building & Loan was a key Dayton institution during the twentieth century; it became First National Bank of Dayton through a merger. It was housed in the Callahan Building which became the Gem City Building. “Under the clock at Third and Main” was the center of Dayton for many years until the building was razed and the clock was moved.
For the next thirty-six years Bard devoted his practice to making Gem City one of Dayton’s leading financial institutions and he took great pride that its success was largely because of him. He was also involved in many charitable and philanthropic projects, including serving as one of the first directors of the Dayton Foundation.
