Attractive Window.

The Christmas Spirit is very
much in evidence at the Peoples
Bank. In it's front window dis
plays the artistic touch of Old st.
Nick himself. In the center OF
the window is a number OF kodak
pictures taken with kodaks given
by the bank to it's saving deposit
tors. In front and on either side
Of the pictures are rosy checked
dolls, each wearing a
pretty cap, and one might imag-
inc gladstone smile. AT least,
they seem to smile at the many
little girls who have been given
one by the bank.
There is, also, something in the
window. which especially attracts
the boys. 1t is big kite. A
kite which will sure enough fly
and fly high. There are, also,
kodaks which appeal to both boys
and girls, and even grown ups.
The kites are given to boys who
open accounts in the Savings De-
partment and the kodaks to boys
and girls who have accounts aver
aging at least $1,000 for six
months. Small steel safes, which
are lent by the bank to those
who open an account Of $1.OO or
more in its savings department,
also, add to the attractiveness OF
the window. The display is
pleasing indeed and through it
