MOVE TOMORROW NIGHT.
The National German American Bank
to Occupy Improved Quarters.

The work of remodeling the National
German American bank building has
been so far completed that it has been
decided to move from the present
quarters on Scott street to the new and
improved home tomorrow evening.
Fronl7 to 10 o'clock has been reserved
for the reception of the public, and
everybody is cordially invited to come
and inspect the building The officers
and directors will be on hand to show
visitors through each department
The work of remodeling was begun
last June, and today the bank is practi-
cally new building. 1t is now COM
pleted, with the exception of few
minor details, and an inspection proves
it to be one of the finest banking build
ings in the state. The Pilot, on ac-
count of lack of space, can only give a
brief description of it in this issue.
The bank is finished throughout with
mahogany and marble, and presents a
very rich appearance. The floors are
of polished oak, the ceilings and walls
of stuccO and burlap, handsomely
painted. The ratings are of brass, the
fixtures and furniture of mahogany and
everywhere there is an air of beauty.
Upon entering, one faces the railing
which screens the office force, back of
whom are two large vaults. To the
right is passage way for the benefit of
employees or for the public in getting to
the safety deposit vault or to the offices
of cashier or directors. There are
three vaults on the upper floor; one for
| books, one for cash and one for safety
deposit patrons. They are all of the
same pattern, handsomely finished,
massive and provided with time locks
and. burglar alarm attachment. Be
| sides the steel lining there is two feet
| of concrete and cement surrounding
them. The safety deposit vault will be
| provided with 1000 boxes, for which'
| keys will be given out to patrons. A
master key will be kept in the bank
| and the method of unlocking boxes will
| be the same as employed in all banks,
| both keys being used. There will be
| some boxes, however, for which the
| master key and two other sets of keys
| must be used
| Facing the vault are private rooms
| for patrons, provided with marble
! table, seat, light and spring lock on
| door to ensure privacy. Adjoining is a
writing room for the accommodation of
| those who desire to write letters. On
| the west side of the building is a room
| for ladies, we'll lighted, with handsome
mirror set in wall and provided with
| other necessaries.
| On the south side of the building is a
| large directors room and a private
room for the cashier, and adjoining the
| lobby is room reserved for desks for
| cashier or other officers. This will be
a handy arrangement for the public
when anyone is DESTROYS of seeing any
of the officers on business. A tele-
phone booth is also installed on this
! floor
In the basement is the heating system
and it is without doubt the most per-
feet and improved of any in the city
| Everthing about it is automatically ar
ranged and is planned so that the air
in a room can be changed every half
minute, if so desired. Hot air comes
through registers below the ceiling and
is carried away again. Air that has
| passed through room, is washed by
a sprayer attachment, to remove parti-
/ Giles of dust, heated and returned. 1t is
so arranged that different rooms can be
heated at different temperatures at the
same time.
Taken all in all the National German
/ American bank has a very nice home.
| AS said before, the PILoT cannot fully
| describe il in this issue, and advises
| our citizens to 90 tomorrow night
and see it for themselves
