dertake to reconstruct their bank ing houses adopt new plan The Chemical National bank has just come into occupancy of it's greatly beautified building after tempo rary occupancy of a large banking room in a skyscraper in Dunne street. This banking room was built for temporary occupancy by banks, and the banks can move all their portable property into the spacious banking rooms specially constructed to meet the wants of a banking institution. While the Chemical bank was reconstructing it's old building, work occupying many months, it had fine banking room all the while, with no diff ference in it's facilities, except that it was situated couple of blocks away from it's old site. When the work was done, it moved the Chemical bank with all it's accumu- lated millions. The officers and clerks and customers found in the reconstructed banking room the finest arched window in the city, and the largest the city has to show.
