Op
ens
Opening day of the new branch building in Salem of the First
National bank will be Monday, March 24, an event which Guy

to the people of Marion and Polk
counties. Hickok has declared
the entire day will be marked
by an open house celebration
at the bank. Closing hours in
the afternoon will be ignored
and at 4 p. m. customers, friends
and visitors will be served sand
wiches and refreshments
tpecial room on the lower level.
A gardenia will be bestowed
on every feminine visitor at the
bank during the day. Specially
conducted tours over the attrac

A W. Morris, assistant cashiers;
A. F. Aymong, Donald D. Dnggs
and Blanche Hull, junior offic

Pietro Belluschi, noted archi
tect of Portland, who designed
the $500,000 building of marble,
granite, plate glass, bronze, brick
and wood paneling, will be pre
sent at the open house celebra
tion. His design has attracted
nation-wide attention and al
ready has been copied and adap
ted in bank construction several
times.
Can Add Second Story
Viewed from the outside, the
bank building does not appear
large. It is one story in height,
although a second story may be
added later without altering the
basic design. It covers a ground
area 82 feet 10 inches by 100
feet. When one steps through the

due for a surprise, however, for
the large main banking room,
80 by 107 feet, with a 26 foot 6
inch ceiling, gives one a feeling
of tremendous size. The walls
are paneled to height of 10 feet
with bleached birch. The west
wall, above the granite entrance
vestibule, is tinted a dark peach
shade. The south wall is tinted
a green gray and the cast wall
is tinted a canary yellow.
Pendant lighting fixtures,
dropping two-fifths of the way
to the floor, arc featured by
large white glass ball sandes.
The remainder of the building is
fitted with incandescent tubes.
extended in panels across the
rooms.
Safe deposit vaults and ser
vice areas are on the lower lev
el, including a model kitchen,
which will be used for the first
lime at the open house celebra
tion. The branch will start op
erations with 3800 safe deposit
boxes, of which 2375 will be new
nstallinents. Eight small coupon
booths are adjacent to the vaults
I lie lobby are the paying and re
cciving tellers windows, new ac
counts, a conference room, col
lections and foreign exchange
windows, savings, notes, and of
ficers' space. Also in this area
are the installment loans, real
estate loans and statements coun.
ter. Individual conference rooms
are a feature of the installment
loan department.
Night Chute Innovation
Elevator service will be pro
vided to the lower level as soon
as equioment arrives. Two stair
ways lead to the mezzanine at
the rear of the banking offices.
On this level is located the book
keeping department and record
vaults. The night depository
with chute from a street vent is
an innovation.
The heating plant is an oil
fired forced hot air system, and
the cooling system is implement
ed by a 312-foot well, drilled
beneath the bank. The heaviest
piece of equipment in the bank
is the door of the safe deposit
vault, weighing 29,000 pounds.

Did You Get a Red Card Red cards found on the windshields of automobiles in Salem Sat

to curb juvenile delinquency. The cards asked motorists to remove keys from their cars, for auto
theft is a frequent youthful offense. In the above picture J. M. Woolley, superintendent of
