The Removal and Opening of the
New Binga State Bank of Chicago

~ w O111So OOGAO ~
The Binga State Bank, the oldest Race bank
in the Middle West, celebrated its sixteenth an
niversary by moving into its magnificent new
building on State Street at Thirty-Fifth Street,
Monday, October Doth
During the entire week the building was
packed with visitors friends and patrons, eager
to inspect what already is called the Seventh
Wonder of Chicago. The building was erected
at the cost Of Sl5O,OOOOO and was designed by
experts for the sake of both architectural beau
ty and the durability and safety so necessary to
banking institutions. It is Ionic in structure
and composed of ST. Genevieve Marble costly
imported Italian marble, and the most durable
stone on the market. The lighting effects, the
Ladies Department, the General Banking
Room, the Counting Room, the kitchenette
and the private offices of the officials and drec-
tors of the bank are beyond comparison
But chief interest is the Subway Vault
Rooms which one reaches by marble stair
way Inside of the protecting grille, at the foot
Of the stairs, is a large vault door weighing
twenty tons. This door and many inches of
steel and concrete protect the allotted space for
four thousand safe deposit boxes varying in
size The vaults are equipped with 16-inch bur
proof solid steel DOORS which have quad
ripple time locks

nent banks, business institutions and citizens

ton, at 1928 Connecticut avenue,
with Mrs. A. Stone In charge.
This organization has accomplish.
ed q great deal to not only keep
people alive. but to popularize the
mountain craftswomen and men to
earn a livelihood.
In the old days every mother
taught her daughter to weave and
every family had its own particular
patterns but lest the precious
knowledge might be lost, the pat
terms were indicated by marks and
figures on paper, and these drafts"
as the weavers call them, passed
from hand to hand as long as the
paper lasted.
Each draft is the record Of q
women's dream Of art. Some Oe
them are brown with age and the
paper is brittle.
Old letters were cut into strips an
inch and q half or two inches wide.
The strips were sewed together with
coarse homespun thread and as the
paper began to wear out 1t was
sewed on q strip Of homespun cloth.
There are at least six different
methods Of writing drafts md the
method often shows the nationality
Of the weavers.
All the drafts found about Berea
are written in the English method,

Anglo-6axon blood. Drafts written
according to the Scotch method,

How many designs there wore in
our grandmother's day will never
be known. Many patterns are al.
ready lost beyond recovery and
more will be lost, year by year, as
the drafts are destroyed and the
coverlets fall into tatters.
Not only were these fine women
artist designers and weavers but
they made their own dyes with the
