a desire to see the new ,
The new building is not only the =
asst word in fire-pToof cOnstruc- L
ion, but is the largest Independent
anking institution in Sussex coun-
y, and one of the most complete, in
modern appointments in the State.
t has all of the best Obtainable
lOdern banking equipment and ac-
essOries to assure safety, security
nd service.
The new Milford Trust Building is
masterpiece of colonial architec-
ire. The richly appointed structure
as an air of friendliness about it
lat is apparent instantly one pass
) through the vestibule. The subtle
lie green tints of the walls and the
immense windows that extend the
i'll height of the building, give the
hole interior a charm that is most
IMPRESSIVE.
The new building, however, is
ore than just beautiful-it has an
of solidity and sound
ess about it that insures conf
9nce. One first sees the great vault
the rear with its massive steel
,or, a fortress-like contrjvance
hich weighs fifteen tons and can
lily be opened by special time lock
vices. The vault is built to assure
e utmost in safety and is encased
heavily reinforced concrete and
One three feet thick The floor is of
oh Terraza marble, the fixtures of ~
OnZed steel, and all of the stair 80
lys are of fire-prOOf metal. Only a -
" partitions are of wood and these
e of ornate massive mahogany. h
ley separate the offices of the ph
savings, real estate,
lst and safe deposit departments.
The safe deposit facilities are
ique in that there are private
Oms where one ma ytake his or
r box and examine its contents
me. Each safe deposit renter has
special key that opens his or her
< and no access to this box is pos
lie without it. This assures alb
ute security of all personal pa say
rs, deeds, insurance policies and anC
Ter documents too valuable to be Out
pit in the home. I
The night depository system is YER
ther valuable service that the for
