The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1922-04-28

While in South America he purchased
in Buenos Aires site for the first
American embassy building to be
erected in a foreign country by the
United States. Real estate spectators
had endeavored to hold up the Ameri-
can government asking as high as
S500000, for preferable sites. Con-
yipced that something was wrong
President Harding sent Mr.. Packard,
whom he long has known personally
and by reputation, to Argentina to
investigate. Mr.. Packard effected the
purchase of a site for $4,000.
While in Mt. Vernon Mr.. Packard,
with members of the commission, Wis.
tied several prospective sites giving
the board members the benefit of his
eminent professional observation and
judgment.
Another man of equally high type
and distinguished in his profession is
f. w. CARRIER of the firm of CARRIER &
Woodward, Cincinnati. He has a
strong and pleasing personality which
makes distinct impression upon per-
sons coming in contact with him.
Still another outstanding visitor
among those in Mt. Vernon Wednes-
day was George Bulford of the firm
of Richards, McCarty G. Bulford, Co
lumbus. This firm has done much
work of distinguished character,
much of it outside of Ohio. They
have virtually transformed the busi-
ness section of Wichita, Kans But
recently a bank building was com.
pleted there after plans drawn by the
firm the structure costing over ST.
100000. The next meeting of the AM
erican Bankers association is to be
held in Wichita to accord the members
an opportunity to inspect this fine
building.
The members of this firm also are
the architects that drew the original
plans for the new Ohio penitentiary
near London. They also designed the
Hartman theatre in Columbus, a play
house with which many Mt. Vernon
people, are familiar.
Not at all inconspicuous among the
visiting architects here Wednesday
was Mr.. Howell of Howell & Thomas,
Cleveland. They designed the front for
the Lazarus sore in Columbus and are
one of the four firms given the designs
for as many new High school build
ings that Columbus plans to erect.
