RAWLINS TURNS
OUT TO SEE NEW
BANK BUILDING

More than two thousand Rawllns
and Carbon County citizens poured
hroug the new First National
hank building last Saturday, n al
though not one per cent passed tne
bronze wickets the bank OFFICIALS
hold this the most successful single
day of its history. Most successful
truly. for Saturday was official Up
ening Day for the new building anu
every effort had been made that Ine
nroper introduction be given this
valuable asset to the Rawlins ON
munity If numbers alone are con-
adhered fully one half the adult pol,
ulation visited the new quarters Oh
tho bank between the hours Oh three
tn ak in the afternoon and from
eight to ten in the evening.
Entering the cozy yet adequate
,ohby. one was met by a reception
committee which throughout the busy
hours was t~ireless making all Vlsilors
feel at home. Groups were lorneu
and guided through the Dankins
Quarters and office suites by olllciais
of the bank. Many matters OIL oeli.
mite interest were considered mosl
important of which, perhaps were
the vaults with their ingenious
guards agains theft. n the auto,
matte heating plant. The beauty Vi
the furnishings and OF the lnteriol
;tseIf was allowed to intrigue the
admiration of visitors unaided by the
guides. But no single visitor left
The building without receiving a last
ing impression of the subdued rlch-
ness of that interior. Equipment IN,
stalled with the single idea of added
convenience for the patron and cas-.
ual of the bank was everywhere, and
IT Is not too much to state that nc
bank in the entire Rocky unit
region offers a greater degree OF
convenience and service than does
this Rawlins institution, however
large the volume of such service may
be- This fact was apparent from the
way in which the building was equip
ped to give that service.
Every office space has likewise
been planned and developed for the
convenience Of tenant and his client.
Light courts alternating with offices
will serve to give abundant light and
air no matter what height of struc-
ture may one day be built next the
bank on the south. Hot and cold
water and a t~hermostatic heat CON
troll run throughout the entire build
ing. .,
The working units of this control
system are found in the basement
and form an imposing array of equip
ment.
Refreshments were offered the
guest in the community room where
a continuous social hour" was in
during the entertainment.
This room occupies an accessible
part of the basement and has been
dedicated to the use of whatever
organizations wish to avail them
selves of 1t.
Music and flowers played their
important roles and in the evening
the entire building. set off by a row
of closely socketed lights beneath
the oornice. was a blaze of light.
The presence of people within the
bank breathed a life into this interior
Which had been lacking; the bank
Is now an established but no for
gotten fact in its community.
