GREAT CRUSH AT BANK OPENING
More Than 5000 People Saw Peoples
Nationals New Quarters.

Ii is estimated that more than o,ooO
people took advantage Of the invita-
tion of the Peoples National bank 10
inspect the banks new quarters IN me
Aldrich building Saturday afternoon
and evening The bank opened for busl-
ness in its new quarters IN the morn
ing and from 9 to ~, noon. the reg
uar hour for Saturday closing, there
was constant stream OF people corr
ing and going, some of them customers
and Others of them business mca ard
bankers from Montpelier.
Then when the bank doors were re-
opened at 2 in the afternoon for the
formal opening there was such crush
OF people that ii was impossible TO
maintain any semblance of order;
about all the bank officials could do
was to open the back door and let the
crowd pass through after making but
cursory examination of the quarters.
For three hours in the afternoon there
was continuous stream OF people GO
ing through. When evening came IT was
found necessary to place two pollcemen
at the front entrance, az we'll as bank
attaches at the rear door, in order to
keep the crowd entering and leaving IN
such numbers as TO prevent injury to
many of the crowd. The crush kept up
until the closing hour of the reception
at 9 O'Clock.
The bank officials had anticipated
good response TO the invitation but
were scarcely prepared for such large
attendance. Their supply of 1000 SOU
venir quill pens was soon exhausted,
as well as a consignment OF nearly l.
500 carnations and good sized amount
of cigars. so that a large number Of
people could not be supplied. Whites
orchestra played during the afternoon
and evening and the music added much
to the pleasure of the occasion.
Bank officials. directors and attaches
did what they could to show :he banks
quarters under the serious handicap of
huge crowd; and the comments heard
on all sides regarding the banks new
facilities were very favorable Z.
