HARRINGTON
Bank Opening Draws
Large Crowd

According to previous announce
ment made by the officials of the
Peoples Bank, when they threw open
the doors of their new bank build
ing on Saturday afternoon to the
public at o'clock a steady stream
of visitors entered the building and
gave it thorough inspection from
the directors room at the head of
the stairs on the second floor to the
basement. Every nook and corner
was thoroughly inspected and every
one expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with the layout of
the building. Headed by S. l.. Sapp,
the president, together with other
employees, several of the directors
and a number of the wives of the
officials were on hand to escort Wis
itOrs through the building. Upon
entering the lobby of the building
the lady visitors were each present
ed with either a white or pink car
nation, the gentlemen were directed
to the left where they were present
ed with a key chain containing an
identification number. Each visitor
getting one of the gifts left his
name and address, in case his keys
are lost the owner can be located
through a card system that will be
maintained by the bank. The chill
dren who visited the bank on Satur-
day were given lead pencils. The
interior of the bank was beautifully
decorated with huge vases and bas-
kets of cut flowers. 1t was original
ly planned to close the bank at 8
p. m. but at that time it was crowd
ed with visitors and it was almost
two hours later until the officials
were finally able to close.
Desiring to give everyone a
chance to thoroughly inspect the
building, no attempt was made on
Saturday to open for business. The
transfer of cash and records will
probably be made some time next
week when the bank will then be
ready for business in their new
quarters. According to the registra-
tion nearly thirty-five hundred Wis
itors were present for the opening.
Included among this number were
many prominent officials of other
banks from nearby towns. Some of
those present were: John Hopkins,
Romulus Hopkins, James Hughes
