THE ALMA STATE SAVINGS BANK OPENING
OVer One Thousand People Visited The Banking Quarters Last Saturday
-CigarS and Carnations In Abundance

In response to announcements is
sued earlier in the week, one thou
sand or more of our citizens visited
the new banking rooms of the Alma
State Savings bank last Saturday af-
ternoon and evening. The guests OF
the bank were met at the door by
one or more of the directors who
with the officers of the bank con-
stituted reception committee and
showed the various rooms and de-
partments to the visitors.
While Alma has made rapid strides
forward in street, residence and mer-
camille establishments, yet the homes
OF her financial institutions remained
as in days gone by. Approaching the
above fact together with need of ad-
dltional room with which TO handle
their increasing business, the direct
ors of the Alma State Savings bank
purchased the building then occupied
by the Independent Cash grocery and
last spring commenced the work of
remodeling and converting the same
into modern banking quarters. That
they have accomplished the end
sought is evident to all who have
visited the room.
Upon entering the building one is
at once impressed with the simplicity
and beauty of the decoration. The
side walls and ceiling are Of a cream
tint, while the wainscotting, which
surrounds the entire interior of the
lobby, is of paneled oak. The light
ing system is known as the in
direct method of illumination and
diftuses soft mellow light into the
remotest corner of the room. The
main lobby is 16 X 80 feet in size, and
covered with an old English pattern
of tile flooring
While the banking room was pri-
marily constructed for the convent
ence of the bank officials, yet no de-
tail that would add to the comfort
OF its patrons has been overlooked.
The lady customers of the bank
have been provided with room 7x9
desk and other convent
ences for the transaction of business.
A customers room 10 12 is equipped
with all the necessities needed bv its
patrons.
