SeYenty-FiVe Miles Of Wire iD Bank Structure

Fifty-siX offices comprise the four upper floors of the new Commercial Trust building. now ready for occu- pancy and which will be opened for business next Saturday evening.
 The building, a description of he banking section of which is found in another column, is seven stor es high. the lower floors being used by the bank and the four upper floors for officss.
 Each df the upper floors contains 14 offices, containing from 245 to 542 square feet each. Each office has hot and cold running water and modern lavatory arrangements are found on every floor. Corridors are in marble, and the building is fire proof throughout,
 Floors are accessible by marble stairway or elevator from an en- trance hall west of the bank en- trance. An entrance 10 the bank also opens from this vestibule.
 The building was constructed by
 
 the H, Wales Lines Co. of Meriden. Work was started in June, 1926. In addition to the Indiana limestone used in the front facade, there are 1s4,000 bricks, with depressed pat tern of the banks insignia, made in Illinois.
 The building has 75 miles of cleo tric wire. of which 49 miles are used in the vaults.

OPENING OF NEW BUILDING OCCURS NEAR ANNIVERSARY
 OF COMMERCIAL TRUST co.
Organization Is Twelve Years Old and a Month to Spare - Growth Re- corded.

The opening of the new Commer- cial Trust company building on West Main street tomorrow will be in the nature Of dual celebration inasmuch as 1t will be house. warming and birthday party all at the same tiue. While it is not the exact anniversary date, it is just q few days more than q month from the 18th birthday anniversary Of the institution, and the double party has been arranged to commemorate both the birthday and the removal into the new home.
 October II, 1915 the Commercial Trust company opened it's doors for business. Before the expiration of the first days business the bank re- ported total resources of Se07,000. of which sl25,ooO had been paid in by stockholders, The first depositor was Isaac kanrich.
 The new bank attracted to itself many people who hitherto had not | felt the need for a banking institu- tion, and the institution grew as the | city grew Within two years its re- sources had mounted to more than q million dollars and its original quarters had proven inadequate.
 The officers at that time consisted l Of James M. Curtin, president; Du- gald McMillan. vice president; John l C. Loomis, treasurer, and George A. | Caldwell secretary.
 The building at PA Main street, built for a business place originally and adapted to the needs of the new 1 bank at it's opening, was purchased by authorization of the bank direc- tors in 1917 and was enlarged and romodcled.
 By 1918 the resources had mount ed to almost q million and q half, and two years later 1t was appar- ont that the Main street location. although in use only five years, en- | larged and remodeled as it had been. was becoming too small SO rapidly that a new home was al- ] most an immediate necessity. The officials of the St. Marks Episcopal church were planning the present new edifice, and the bank officials purchased the site Of the old structure on West Main street. Building operations began in 1926. In October, 1925. the old building was sold to Isaac Rothfedcr for
 s137,5O0.
 The assets of the bank continued
 to increase at the rate of approXi- mately a half million dollars year until at the close of business Octo-
 Der 10, 1927, the total assets were
 SC, 51S, ,4Sl.62.
 The bank includes a number Of
 departments, among them being the
 commercial, savings, safe deposit.
 Christmas club, foreign exchange,
 insurance. industrial loan invest
 ment securities, trust and other de-
 partments.
 T It has today more than 2S,0oO
 clients.
 . In June, 1924, upon the death of President Curtin, Mir. Loomis, then
 vice president, succeeded to the
 presidency, which position he now
 holds.

 FIND HARD GOING
Arrangement of Counters Dehes GunInen

Any attempt 10 rob the Commcr- cial Trust Co. in it's new bank build ing on West Main street would be found a discouraging job. so thor oughly protected against robbery is this new bank. At any counter in the entire bank where a man might be tempted to aim a pistol, he would be forced because of the counter construction to aim it shoul- der high. This act in itself would give the man behind the window time to act. The would-be robber would at all times be in plain sight of IS or 20 bank officials and en- ployes. Over his head, where he could not reach or intimidate her, but within plain sight and equipped to give an instant alarm, he would find a telephone operator. Under the counter in every compartment Is little trigger, which by an al- most imperceptible movement of the foot of the man or woman stand | ing there would immediately sound the alarm and call the police. | Sneak thieves would be frustrated because of the counter construction. which makes it impossible to reach the counter on the teller's side from the patrons side.
 Under various counters where large sums of money are bound to 1 a n o c nr cfaa1 1opl inclD1- ing cabinets and drawers, mounted on wheels. These cabinets are wheeled onto the elevator and to the burglar proof vaults each night.
 In the vault two large steel doors. weighing 13 tons each, and 16 inches thick of different grades of steel one layer on another, make drilling almost impossible. In ad- dition there are built into each vault several sound accumulators.
 After given number of sounds, such as hammer blows. or those made by a drill, have been made. these accumulators automatically set of the police alarm on the out side of the bank and at police head quarters. So delicately are they balanced that if man were acci- dentally locked in the vault, the mere raising of his voice to a shout would give the alarm.
 In this case. the telephone oper- ator at the central exchange would make a direct connection with . special telephone in the vault and
 the home of one of the bank off

has all-stcel drawers and cabinets and an extra work table, designed and finished to harmonize with the general scheme of the furnishings.
 The drapcry on the windows is light shade Of tan and contrasts with the warmer note of bronze statuary grill work.
 The basement is an institution by itself. A well lighted, spacious floor. gleaming with white Italian marble, carefully matched in the WainHcot- ing, blends with the pink TenneS- see marble and the glittcring bronze of the vault grill.
 The stairway from the main floor at the right of the doorway leads

The vault is divided by a partition
 from the banks own vaults. They
 are finished in a satin nickel. There
 also is provided storage space in
 specially designed combination lock-
 CTS for bulky articles and packages. The foreign exchange department,
 also located in the basement, is equipped with the same type of cageless counters, marble topped, as are found on the main banking
 floor. Here are found employees speaking Polish, Italian, French, Jewish, Swedish, Lithuanian. Ger Continued on Page 5A)

RANGE AND LIVESTOCK REPORT
Cattle

Cattle
North Dakota cattle show consider
able improvement in condition, the
result of being on range after a win
ter Of short feed supplies. In South
Dakota some loss Of mature cattle
occurred during the May storms. but
condition, generally, is good. In
Montana livestock are doing we'll
with calf prospects generally good
Two to three per cent Of old stock
was lost in Wyoming as a result Of
storms in May. as well as some loss
Of calves.
In the range area cattle arc in good
condition with calf prospects gener-
ally good. Dry weather in the south
western states has resulted in some
shrinkage, and short feed in New
Mexico has caused the movement of
cattle. A little stronger demand with
better prices than a year ago IS re-
ported for stocker cattle.
Sheep
Sheep in North Dakota show small
improvement in condition. Landing
not yet completed. with losses about
average. In South Dakota the lamb
crop will probably be below average

Weather conditions during May
we're unfavorable to normal growth
of grass, but ample moisture insures
good feed supplies on ranges and
pastures as soon as warm weather
sets in, according to the June first
report of Paul c. Newman. agricul
tural statistician for North Dakota.
A severe snow and sleet storm during
three days of early May resulted in
considerable loss to mature stock in
western sections of the state. Lamb
ing. though not yet complete, has
made good progress, with above aver
age losses.
Ranges
North Dakota ranges show great
Improvement over the May first con-
dition, and ten points over the con-
dition one year ago. Prospects are
very promising. A similar condition
is reported for western South Dakota,
Montana, and Wyoming.
A serious drought has developed in
New Mexico, with shortage Of mois-
ture reported for western Kansas
and Oklahoma, east central and
southeast Colorado, southern Utah
and western Texas. West of the con-
tinental divide, grass growth has
been delayed by cool, wet weather,
but with good summer range in
prospect.

LOST

LOST-Exaggerated reports have
been circulating that John Doe lost
two appendices. This is not true.
What he lost was both tonsils, his
onlv gall-bladder, ONE appendix
(i. e. his oil CAM, one prostate
gland and his homestead. The sad
part of this whole business is that
poor John Doe is in much worse
shape now than he was before he
had all the oncratic:.-- lie could
easily have avoided all the pain,
danger and expense If he had Wis
tied the Clinic Of DR.. T. NJ. Mac

ing a chronic invalid he would now
