First National Bank
Finish improvements

The First National bank here
has recently completed remodeline
the interior which has made it into
one of the most modern and up-tO-
date banking quarters in southern
Ohio. The room has been so ar
ranged as to make it much more
convenient to the banks customers
and the arrangement also makes ii
possible for the personnel of the
bank to handle their work more ef-
ficiently.
The banking counter has many
outstanding features. The counter
is of the friendly type, that is, in
stead of having a high superstruc-
ture, it has low lines which permit
the banker and the customer to
transact their business much more
freely than was formerly the case.
There are now four windows at
which business may be transacted
and the counter permits several
more tellers to wait on the custo-
mers when it becomes necessary.
The counter is beautiful piece
of furniture with the front con-
structed of fine imported woods
The facings are combination of
"Teak Wood" and african Wal
nut The Teak has it's origin in
India and the Walnut originates in
Africa. These woods are combined
in beautiful arrangement and are
finished in a highly rubbed lacquer.
The deal plates are of black Gar
rara" glass and the bronze work on
the top of the counter harmonizes
we'll with the fine woods.

ed to be as near daylight as pos

of the teller. The counter is wide
and permits spacious facilities for
working at it, The under side of
the counter consists Of a group of
cupboards and drawers for housing
the various forms used by the bank.
A fine new check desk made of
the same materials as the counter
has been installed at the end of the
lobby for the use of the customers.
AnOtHer feature OF the Ir1enQlyl
counter is that on the customers
side there is nine inch ledge run
ming the full length of the counter
so that the customer has a place to
put his packages while being waited /,
on. Along this ledge pens are plac-
ed so that the customer may indorse |
checks without moving away from !
the counter. The lobby has been J
covered with Goodyear rubber tile
which affords nice easy walking |
surface and makes for quiet in the
bank The floor back of the counter
is covered with Bataeship linoleum.
A coupon booth has been install
ed which is entered from the lobby |
so that the customer may have a |
strictly private and comfortable !
room to sit down and examine the
contents of his safety deposit box.
Opening off the lobby is the COM
