 Announces Building Plan
 On May i6 of last year B. D. Bug bee, president of the bank, aunoune- ed that the organization was on the eve of starting building operations. For more than n year the bank had been the owner of the former OI.earv Block just north of the Second Congregational church. In order Co secure the desired width for tE. .t....att.,-.. tAa I.i,i .ia, ..f~.kae ed strip of land from the church society.
 Medburv & Trowbridge were given the contract of razing the O'Leary Block. an old wooden two story struc ture. The contract called for the lot being cleared by June 10th The contractors finished their work on June 9th. making all ready for the actual building operations.
 Representatives of Pieretti Bros. of Ccntcrbrook. who were awarded the contract for building the bank, started operations Monday, June IT, 1929. It was announced that time was not to be of the essence of tine contract. quality of material and workmanship being the first eonsid- eration. In excavating for the eel lar of the building a solid ledge of rock was encountered This some what retarded the earlier part of the work but the bank now rests upon a rock ribbed foundation. The cellar being completed the building of the structure has gone steadily forward and citizens of Putnam have stopped time and again to watch the fine new building take shape. Today it stands completed. credit to the Trust Company. to those who have had a part in the structural work and out fitting. and to the city.
 Thorough investigation
 The architects of the new bank are A. Stanley Miller Inc, Avenue C.. West Brooklyn. N. Y. This concern has designed over four hundred bank buildings Before the plans were finally accepted an inves- tigati0n was made covering the greater part of year, including a survey to determine the trend of | of the most modern | bank buildings in the country. The object was to get the very best in iesign and material, including equip nent. The officers feel we'll satisfied xith the result of their efforts. People who have seen the building from the outside are impressed with he prepossessinQ substantial struc- .ure and its solid modernistic design.

the building next Wednesday and thereafter.
 What impresses one when inside is the excellent light effect in the main banking room. The large windows on each side afford most excellent working conditions for the employees and will be appreciated by the pa- irons. The decorative scheme is modernistically artistic and pleasing to the eye.
 Is Fire Proof
 The building is fire proof con- struction. The materials include Westerly granite, marble, bronze. brick and steel. The sidewalks are in texture plaster in pleasing modern istic scroll design and lightly tinted. What woodwork is included in the building is American walnut and figured gumwood, used for paneling, finish and fixtures. and quartered oak used for flooring in few rooms. The lighting fixtures are in attractive modern design. An electric clock is attached Co the east wall, visible from all parts of the lobby,
 The building has a 37-foot front on Main street and is approximately 100 feet deep. The whole lot was excavated for the foundation allow ! ing for a large basement The base course is three feet. six inches high of red Westerly granite. Above this base gray Westerly granite and ] polished Westerly granite have been. used Over the front of the building and on the south sias is seen in in- ] dented carved letters lined with gold leaf "Cargill Trust Co" On either side of the front door are bronze tablets with the following inscriptions: 'The CargilI Trust Company, Gen. eral Banking. Safe Deposit Vaults"
 The main doors. which open into q ycstibule. are of bronze in a plain, modern design. The floor of the ves- i tibule is of Travertine. a volcanic composition from volcanoes in Italy, an expensive but economical non- skid covering; the side walls arc of marble
 Real Beauty Seen
 From the vestibule one steps di- rectly into the B-shaped lobby where the real beauty of the interior may be taken in almost at a glance. This room is 10 feet by 37 feet and is @ feet high. The light streams in from six large steel-framed windows hung with m0dernistic draperies, three on the north and three on the south side. The glass in the windows is heavy plate glass, such as is used throughout the building.
 The business department is on the north side of the room extending well out in front leaving large open space behind the customers counter. This space IS all open there being no cages such as are seen in older banks. On the south side are modernistic type cheek desks and fixtures for the Use of patrons especially designed for this building There are seven wickets in the semi-low counter screens topping the long counter separating the lobby from the busi- ness work room. The wickets and grill surmounting the counter are in bronze. They are most modern in design and are So constructed as to be semi-private. None but the GUS toner before the wicket can witness his transaction with the person be- hind the counter.
