work; long side OF this runs the tiled
passage way leading past the vault to the
directors room, this is lighted by very large
windows OF heavy plato glass, turning on
their center, the passage is wainscotted,
and the windows and castings finished with
ash OF the finest grain, oiled and polished;
the directors room is finished in the same
artistic style--all this is the work
OF the Colo Manufacturing Company,
the carving being done by their
own workmen. This carving is worth
careful examination and study, there is
just enough Of ornamentation with moth
ing overdone or exaggerated. The rooms
are heated by hot water by means OF the
Quincy heating system, the only building
in Memphis heated by this most uniform,
healthful and economical method.
During the past few years business has
tended southwardly in the city and this
fine building is now in the very center of
the business community and we bespeak
for the Memphis City Bank a career OF
great prosperity.

In Trip, retired coal operator of
Scranton, is one of the few men on
record who enjoys the luxury of smok-
ing by PROXY. Twenty yesrs ago his
physician told him that smoking was
prejudicial to his health, anu that he
must stop the practice. Although he
was confirmed smoker, be obeyed the
doctors injunction. Since then he has
never smoked cigar. At the sams
time he has not totally denied him self
his chief luxury. To indulge in it with
out disobeying the doctors injunction
he employees what might be called his
smoking vault" 1t 10 the duty of
this man to smoke Havana cigar when
ever Mr.. Trip feels like indulging in a
little tobacco dissipation, and blowing
the smoke in his employers face. The
latter eagerly inhales the fragrant cloud
snd then exhales it through his nostrils
and blows it down through the meshes
of his long white beard. Mr.. Trip
declares that he enjoys this second-h hand
cd smoke as keenly as when he did
the putting himself. He never travels
without his smoking companion.
