STATE BANK
And Trust Company.

Banking as a business is perhaps the
only commercial undertaking which
cannot be exploited along the lines of
ordinary business enterprises. To the
position of trust as the watchful
guardian of the property Of others is
added the function of financial advisors
of it's patrons, who turn to it for its
judgment and protection under the
pressure of uncommon emergencies.
1t is therefore a matter of no insight
ficant importance in the selection of
bank for our deposits and as the med
ium for future financial relations often
resulting in the closest commercial
comfy, that the question of conserva-
tive management and experience in
finance should be given the most care
full consideration.
The State Bank and Trust Company
building is constructed of Rockcastle
stone and marble, and elegantly fin
ished throughout. 1t is one of the
handsomest business buildings in the
city.
Every safeguard that skill can sug-
gest has been taken in providing a
modern banking equipment. The
vaults are the celebrated Diebold make.
They are fire and burglar-proof, and
contain a number of safety deposit
boxes for the storing of papers and
other valuables. These boxes are
rented to the public at yearly charges,
according to the size.
Enclosed in this large vault, contain
ing the funds of the bank, is the Mos
Ter screw door safe, an up-to-date con-
trivance for battling burglars and safe
blowers. and which is guaranteed to
be absolutely burglar-proof.
The State Bank and Trust Company
succeeded the Second National Bank
upon the expiration of its charter in
1897.
A general banking business is con-
Quoted. viz: caring for deposits, buying
and selling bonds, issuing drafts pay
able in all parts of the country and
making collections at all available
points, ETC., and it is member of the
State Bankers Association. All the
officers and employees of the bank are
bonded.
The State Bank & Trust Company
stands very high as financial institu-
ton and has gone through financial
depressions without the loss of dollar
to its many depositors or any impair
ment of its credit. The capital of the
bank is S15,000.00 and the surplus
$15.000.00
The Trust department acts as execu-
tor, administrator, guardian, assignee,
trustee, agent and committee, and in all
other capacities in which an individual

Jason Edgerly, who lives on Pike
-trect. is reported to have had an eX-
perience a few days ago that he will
not care to undergo again as it came
very near bringing his earthly career
to an abrupt end. and it was only by
Il chance that he was rescued. Mr.
l:dgcrly was digging trench for the
purpose of laying sewer from his
residence to Western avenue, the soil
where he was digging being very
sandy. and while bending over in the
trench the earth gave way burying
him completely. His uncle. Weldon
Preble of Chestnut street. who was
near, heard the noise OF the cavein
and hurried to the spot. and not seeing
anything of his nephew, felt at once
that he must have been buried. Mr.
Edgerly was soon rescued from his
perilous position. but none too soon
1t was a close call.
