UNIQUE METHOD
USED REMODEL|NG
THE CITIZENS BANK
HOGGSON BROTHERS, SUPERIN.
TENDENT BEGINS ACTIVE
WORK TODAY.
LOCAL CONTRACTORS AND SUP
PLY MEN GIVEN PREFERENCE
BY NEW YORK FIRM.
METHOD USED IN REMoDELING
BANK is NEW IN THIS
CITY.

A. j. Hayes, superintendent of con
struction for Hoggson Brothers, con
tracing designers of New York com
menced active work today on remod-
cling the home of the Citizens Nation
al Bank. Inasmuch as it is the policy
of Hoggson Brothers to give prefer
ence to local contractors, to supply
men and labor, Mr.. Hayes will spend
several days in familiarizing himself
with local conditions, and also direct
the removal of the bank to temporary
quarters, where it will remain until
the work is completed in October
The method under which the Cfti-
zens National Bank is being remod-
eled is new to the city of Martinsburg.
The entire operation from the prepar-
ing of the plans, the construction
work, the decorations, furnishings and
equipment, completed ready for occu-
pancy is being done under a single
contract with single organization
Ships are usually built under a plan
similar TO this.
While the method under which the
Citizens National Bank is being re-
modelled is new to the city, it has
been thoroughly tried out in all sec
tons of the country for the last TWEEN
ty-five years. 1t is said that more
fine bank buildings have been built
under this plan than have been erect
ed in the ordinary way The plan is
known as the Hoggson building meth
cd. The new Hotel Commonwealth CT
New York, which will contain $500
rooms and will be the largest in the
world will be erected by Hoggson
Brothers under the same building
method.
Here is the procedures: First of
all the owners decide upon the
amount of money that is to be set
aside for the building complete After
the needs and demands called for are
| ascertained a structure is planned,
and guarantee given that it will be
built for the sum set aside Should
the building cost less than the amount
agreed upon, the saving is returned
to the owner. 1t sounds almost al
trustic. Ordinarily when a man
starts to build, he expects to pay a
great deal more in the end than he
bargained for. An Insurance com
pany's investigation recently develop
ed the fact that 96 per cent of the
buildings erected in this country ex-
ceeded the original estimate in the
end by SO 1-3 per cent.
While the work is in progress the
Citizens Bank will occupy the room
now used by Thomas music store.
