Ter recently vacated, has decided to
carry out a plan that has long been
under consideration, namely. the con
struction Of a fine building to take

The fact that Mr.. Schaller for SO
many years had a lease on the prem

commode him to move until he had
his own building completed, which he
had in contemplation some years ago,
deferred action on the part of the
bank until the way was formally open
ed without interfering with anyones
business interests.
1t is expected that the bank will
occupy the corner fronting Kemp ave,

lower floor excepting some twenty
feet at the eastern line. which will
be fitted up for a store room.
