the First National Bank OF Seattle
win open new banking offices at
SIG Jackson Street. at the corner

ties Of the branch viii include both
commercial and savings depart
ments, safe deposit boxes, buying
and selling of foreign exchange,
the issuance Of drafts and money
orders payable in all parts of the

vice.
Because of the large number Of

ties. Because of its growing inn
