Changes at the First National Bank.

Changes at the First National Bank.
A dozen or more of Fairbanks car
penters took possession of the First
National bank rooms Thursday after
noon and hammered and pounded
away until daylight next morning.
Friday night they repeated the opera
ton and Saturday night kept it up
until midnight again. The result is a
regular transformation scene in the
bank. A new counter, designed by
Architect Packard and built of solid
mahogany runs the length of the room.
On top of this are heavy mahogany
frames in which are set large lights of
plate glass. Slight changes in arrange
ment allow less room for the public
but add greatly to the accommodations
of the cashier and clerks. A new floor
has been laid and new desks and
drawers supplied, SO that, for elegance
