The First National bank commenced
business ia its new building last Tues
day morning, and now has the finest
quarters of any bank in the state out
side of the larger cities. As one enters
the door, he is struck with the roomy.
tiled floor corridor, and the fine fixtures
of polished oak, above which rise the
partitions OF glass and iron grill work,
with separate windows for receiving and
paying tellers and book keeper. Just
; back of the banking counter is the
} finely appointed and convenient cash
ier's office. The large, steel lined vault.
with its massive door and time lock OF
the latest pattern, gives an assurance OF
safety of any funds entrusted to the
bank Back of the banking vault is the
safety deposit vault, fire and burglar
proof, with its individual steel deposit
boxes--something Paw Paw has never
had before, but of which many have Of
ten felt the need. The True Northerner
predicts that this new feature will prove
so popular that the bank will have to
add many more deposit boxes, which it
has ample room to do. Back of the
banking room proper are small private
= office for the use OF customers, and a
large finely furnished directors room,
and coat rooms, toilet rooms, etc. In the
second story of the building are two fine
suites of offices, to be occupied by Z. j.
Cavanaugh aud DR.. j. G. Maxwell, and
in the rear one of the finest society and
e dancing halls TO be found anywhere.
The entire block, including the new
!. postoffice, which occupies half of the
first floor, is hot water heated, electric
lighted and completely plumbed, leaving
nothing in the way of convenience to he
desired. The stockholders of the bank,
. and the people OF the community gener-
ally, should feel a pride in this fine
e building.
