NEW HOME FOR BANK
National Bank Of Rising Sun To Erect
Handsome New Structure

At their meeting on Tuesday
April Is, the directors of the Nation
al Bank of Rising Sun took a step
that will influence in very positive
way the advancing interests of this
end of the county. The determi-
nation was reached to erect a new
banking house in Rising Sun ad-
equately to accommodate the grow
ing business of the institution and to
provide in modern way for the con-
venience of its customers and the
security of their funds.
Placed on the familiar site of the
old building at the center of the
town, the new structure, thirty-five
feet wide and sixty feet deep, is plan
ned to take full advantage of the
commanding location. Surrounded
as it will be by a judicious planting
of shrubbery, the building will be not
only business center, but beauty
spot of which the town may pride
fully boast. The exterior will be of
bluff brick, trimmed with terra Gotta,
in the reserved and restrained lines
of classic architecture. The dignity
that expresses to the beholder the
serious purpose of the building
is given a friendly touch by the
warm color of the tapestry brick.
The interior, wainscoted in enduring
marble, with deep brown mahogany
doors and counter screen, will taste
fully answer the banking needs of its
customers.
All of the public activities Of the
bank will be housed in the single
main banking room. The ceiling
rising twenty-five feet above the
floor, encloses a commodious space
that is flooded with daylight and am
ply ventilated. The terrazza foored
space for the use of customers, faces
south on the main highway Open
ing off this space and separated by
only low rail is the easily accessible
President and Cashiers Office. On
the opposite side is an alcove fitted
up as waiting room or a writing
room for women, with convenient
little dressing room attached. The
bookkeeping machines, so necessary
in modern banking, yet so distract
ingly noisy in operation, will create
no disturbance in the new building
for they are confined to a separate
room, opening off of the rear of the
main working space. In this room
there is located, also the fireproof
book vault, safely housing in very
convenient way such of the bank s
records as should be quickly avail
able for use. A mezzanine or bal
cony above the main banking room
floor, and looking out upon it
through large curtained openings,
will be furnished as the directors
meeting room. While this is the
rooms primary use, care was taken
to make it large enough and access
sible enough for everyday use by the
patrons as a conference room.
Probably the most noteworthy fea-
ture of the new building will be the
vault. The bank determined to

IN all of its other details the
building reflects, as does the vault.
the desire of the bank to promote the
convenience and security Of its
depositors. With deposits of nearly
million dollars entrusted to its
care, and with the sum constantly
growing. the bank determined that
