Being DESTROYED

one o1sJne old landmarks OF the
town, namely the old saw mill by the
bridge on Main street. was being
RACED Monday, A large crew under
the direction OF Harry Thayer were
making rapid Roadway in tearing
the old building down. For several
years this has been very insight

great annoyance to many of the
townspeople who feel that II was not
only a very inartistic building, but
was a fire menace as careless SIN X
ers passing over the bridge might
easily toss match or cigarette onto
the building which would have
quickly caused a hot blaze.
This old building without doubt
one OF the Oldest buildings in town
having been built nearly 100 years
ago by Reuben Gilman who conduct
ed 1t as saw mill. About ten years
ago the mill was bought by Ober
and Clark, the present owner who
conducted the business until q few
years ago.
1t is understood that q saw mill
has stood on this site for over 100
years but not this same building as
the business outgrew the old mill
and the present mill was then erect

be in good condition and will prob
ably be used or sold by the owners

TRADITIONS

ing the passing of years, is unim-
portant; but in this institution the
years have served to create a tradi-
ton of much value to every client.
Coincident with progress of the
City National Bank have been the
personal careers of many individuals
connected with the institution. Their
service records of banking in Texas
extend back ten, twenty and thirty
years. The experience, mature
judgment and intimate knowledge of
banking practices gained through
these long years of service bear an
important relation to the thousands of
firms and individuals that entrust
their affairs to this bank. These men
are naturally jealous in seeking ever
to upbuild their records as able and
trustworthy bankers to whom the
public turns as matter of course.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-01

Many cities-San Antonio, among
them-possess the wonderful heritage
of their early history, replete with
deeds of heroism, sacrifice and
martyrdom of their pioneers.
Many business establishments have
unbroken records of long years of
honorable merchandising policies,
and dependable service to their
patrons and the community of which
they are part.
In many families skill as artizans in
a certain craft has been handed down
from generation to generation.

SPRING
IN SAN ANTONIO

To know San Antonio is to know
perpetual springtime. where roses
bloom in winter months and mag
nificent, semi-tropic palms lift up
their heads as If in praise to the
kindly Creator. who spread his can
opy of deepest, rarest blue over this
picturesque city and blessed it with
a winter climate that breathes only
of warmth and youth and gladness.

Looking Into the Future

With these traditions imbuing
every member of the banks per-
sonnet, with steadfast determination
to continue building toward high
ideals-this institution therefore feels
that it may point to its past record
as fully justifying the high confidence
which patrons repose in the bank.
And, for the future, the bank is
pledged to such policies as will main
tain it in the enviable place it now
occupies in the business life of this
community.

Priceless in Value

All these attributes have a value
beyond price. No citizen would sac
rifice the glorious traditions with
which San Antonio is surrounded. An
upright merchant would not permit
any act of his to place blemish upon
an otherwise stainless record. The
skilled craftsman treasures as a thing
to be protected against temptations
of mere passing profit, the reputation
he has built up through many years
of adherence to fine principles.
