Loan Gains SIowinq

The total of new loans
closed by all savings and

keep pace with increases set
by earlier months this year.
The total of such loans for
September was $1,374 million,
IL per cent greater than the
figure for September, 1858,
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board reported this week.
But, during earlier months
OF 1859. loans closed by saw

were averaging over 40 per
cent ahead of the same
months of 1858.
From January through

Shingles ond a Shaving Godeet

If you are re-rooflng, or
thinking of building your own
home. you'll be interested in
knowing about the new shin
gle that is automatically
sealed by the sun.
The basic shingle has a
double surface, thick butt
construction. This is achieved
by using a heavy roofing felt,
saturated with a specially for
mulated asphalt. To this sat-
urated felt is added an even
coat of heavy asphalt COM
pound.
A first layer Of crushed
mineral granules is embedded
in the first asphalt coating.
Then a second layer of as
phalt is applied over the ex-
posed portion Of the shingle.
Next a second layer Of gram
ules is embedded in the second
coating Of asphalt.
To each shingle, spots Of a
powerful thermoplastic adhe-
Sive are applied in equally
spaced spots to grip the over
tapping Shingle tightly when
the suns heat releases the
sticking action.
This thermoplaStic adhesive
is applied in the making and
no shingle can be overlooked
as may happen when one tries
to apply a similar adhesive
while roofing. The sealing
time varies. In summer. seal

hours. In spring and fall, and

Driye-In Branch,
New Parking Area
Planned By Bank

Acquisition of the largest plot
of real estate in downtown Do
yer was revealed last week by
the announcement that the
Farmers Bank of the State of
Delaware, through its real es-
tate holding affiliate, had made
arrangements to purchase the
Edgeworth property on South
State Street. This will give the
bank ownership of the entire
State Street end of the block
between Loockerman Street and
North Street, with the excep-
ton of Bryan's Drug Store and
the Capitol Theatre. No definite
plans have been formulated for
its use as yet, according to Will
liam X. Patton, chairman of the
board and president. He stated
that the increasing business of
the bank made it necessary to
secure more Office space. The
present building which was
erected in 1853 with the thought
that it would care for the needs
of the banking institution for
many years to come, has al
ready proved to be too small.
The bank has been forced to
lease additional space in near
by buildings. Two years ago,
the Farmers Bank bought the
Index building and adjoining
properties on North Street as
we'll as the Old Dover Tea
House property on South State
Street. These all border on the
Edgeworth property. This gives
the bank frontage on all three
streets. The driveway along side
of the present building on
Loockerman Street will give ac-
cess to South State Street and
to North Street. For some
time" said Patton, 1--WE have re-
cognized the need for an ade-
quate and large customers
parking area, as well as a drive
in and motor bank. We now
have a plot which will provide
the largest private parking area
in the business section, drive-in
facilities accessible from three
streets, and space for an addi-
ton to our present bank build
ing" The bank has retained the
firm of Victorine and Samuel
Homsey of Wilmington as arch
itects. The price paid for the ad-
ditional property was not dis
