Zion Bank makes strong appeal for peo-
pie to come and get their lost articles which
have accumulated in large quantities, es-
pecialy within the past few weeks These
include wearing apparel, pocket books, jew
i lry, dinner pals, packages, umbrellas, can
ned goods, and an almost endless variety
of other articles. The Bank can hardly
find storage for all these goods and would
greatly appreciate it if the people would
come and get them and take them out of
the way. Unless they do so, perhaps some
arrangement will be made for disposing of
them at auction, or in some other way.
