TO EVERYBODY.
The City Bank extends the above
invitation to its friends, neighbor'
and the public generally.
1t is now back in its old home
after being across the street for s
months, patiently waiting for the
many changes desired by the officers
and their consulting architect.
OF course the bank has been at q
very considerable expense in bring
ing about the change that has been
wrought. but expense has been dis
regarded.
The handsome stone front building
is certainly a great improvement
over the one in which the bank had
its birth 25 years ago, but which, in
its day was fully up to the demand
Of popular taste.
The interior of the building is
worthy Of visit from every one
who has interest in the growth and
development of our city. You cannot
fail to admire the exquisite taste
displayed as well as the air of blend
e | solidity and perfect adaptation.
The mahogany design, light shade
and highly polished, is probably the
first thing on entering that strikes
the visitor. The railing above the
counters is Of oxidized nicked in
appropriate design and makes a
most favorable impression when your
gaze takes in the green marble cOun-
ter base resting on the tile floor Of
the banking room proper
TO the right as you enter is the
ladies' nook. 1t also is of mahogany
a I'd is furnished with chairs and
table of the same material. This
nook will be highly appreciated by
ladies as a place where they can rest
and make out their checks or attend
to any other business connected with
the institution. The ceiling is beau
tiful with its divisions, separated
with huge mahogany beams, the CEN
ter of each square being ornament
ed with clustersIof gas and electric
bu BIS.
The pr-sideat's room is separated
from the lobby by a low mahogany
railing and is finished in a manner
that suggests both comfort and har-
mony with the other surroundings.
Behind the counters are the
desks Of the book-keepers. These
are of highly polished mahogany and
the very latest designs, which add
largely to the general appearance of
the modern banking room.
The directors room is the addition
to the building, is very handsome
apartment, with hardwood fioorY
partially covered with a large rug.
The furniture in this room is of the
same expensive material used
throughout the first floor of the new
building.
Everything about the new home
is modern and up to date, and the
tout ensemble is suggestive of neat
ness, artistic in conception and thd
acme of perfection in arrangement
for the banking business, elaborate
yet not loud pretentious, but just
what the city now needs com
ing to the front as one of the lead
ing and growing cities of the State
The second story of the building
is highly worthy of inspection. L
has been divided up into two suit
of three rooms each. DIR. ]. B
jackson uses the first suit and DR.
E. N. Fruit the. second. The sam,
elegant and comfortable arrange
ment prevails here as on the frs
floor, and more handsome profess
ional quarters cannot be found any
where in the city.
Of the personnel of the City Ban
it is needless for us to say anything
They have been so long identife
with this institution, in building
t. its present standing as one of tn
most stable institutions tits stock tC
day worth $500 of the State. tina
