Today is my birthday. I have been with
my master for a year now. He remem
bered it, too, and wore me to a party to
celebrate. I appreciate that.
I've done my best during this strenuous
year to serve him well and faithfully. I
know that Fve pleased him because he
speaks very kindly of me.
He still wears me on occasions when he
wants to appear at his best he says that
I'm the only shirt in which he feels per
fectly free and easy.
I regard this as sufficient reward for the
good service I've tried to give him.

FOR LOCAL BANK
National Bank of Arizona to
Be Remodeled and En
larged to Place of Rare
Beauty, Great Conve
ience and Modern Fea
tures As a result of more than 39 years of
successful banking in Phoenix and a
growth to deposits of almost $3,000,000.
Phoenix is to have a bank building
that can take care of its business ade
quately and provide every possible
comfort, convenience and safeguard
lor its depositors, according to plans
released yesterday by Lyman and
Place, architects for the new National
Bank of Arizona. While the plans
merely call for the using of the room
in which the National Bank of Arizona
is located at Central avenue and Wash
ington street, it is new in every sense
of the word, for about $150,000 will be
spent in remodeling and in the addi
tion coming- from including the La
mara theater site and the barber shop
that is now in the rear of the building.
Twenty-five feet of additional front
age on Washington street will be
gained by the extension to cover the
Lamara theater anil on this site a one
story building will be erected which
will conform architecturally to the
larger building on the corner. This
space extends back lST1, feet. The
bank will have one large counting
room with an area of 70 by 73 feet.
The National Bank of Arizona re
cently changed control, the control go
ing to Charles F. Solomon and associ
ates of the Arizona National Bank,
Tucson, and one of the first moves of
the new organization was to provide
for the business of the bank satisfac
torily. The plans call for one of the
most modern and complete banking in
stitutions that can be found in the
country and no expense has been
spared to make the Job complete.
Work Already Started
Several officers of the old organiza
tion still remain with it. including
Kmil Ganz, chairman of the board; Ieo
Goldman, Jacob Miller and Edward
Eisele. Those added to the board by
the change are D. H. Claridge, David 4
Goldberg, Charles F. Solomon, K. W.
Clayton and Ph. Freudenthal. K. W.
Clayton is cashier and vice president,
while Charles Solomon is president. J.
J.- Sweeney, L. II. Rhuart, S. C. Ganz
and Guy Alsap are members of the old
organization and of the new as as
sistant cashiers.
The opportunity to acquire the lease
on the Lamara theater gave the bank
officials the reeded opportunity for
expansion, and work already has com
menced on the razing of the theater
building and on ; the enlarging of the
basement of the present bank building
preparatory to the remodeling. In or
der that the work of the bank be un
interrupted while the construction
work is going on, a comprehensive
plan has been worked out for caring
for the business. The work on the
basement, the placing of the vaults,
etc., the building of the officers" quar
ters in the Lamara theater and the
construction of the trust department
where the barber shop on the Central
avenue side of the building is now lo
cated, can be completed without inter
fering with the present main bank
ing room.
Then, by placing steel supports to
hold the upper stories of the National
Bank of Arizona building, the wall be
tween the new addition and the present
banking room can be removed, the
business of the bank can be divided,
so that the work may start on the
main banking room.
Main Banking Room
This" main banking room, when com
pleted, will have a single lobby 32 feet
wide and running the full length of
the building from Washington street
to the present elevator lobby of the
National Bank of Arizona buyding.
Seventeen tellers' wickets will be avail
able, which is 10 more than the pres
ent number. This is in addition to the
quarters for the five . officers, with
their consultation rooms and private
offices.
The columns in the banking room
will be octagonal in shape and will be
paneled with marble from floor to
ceiling. The floor of the lobby will
also t or the same kind of marble.
Tavernalle marble having been select
ed on account of its soft color, sug-

gestive of a cool temperature durin
the summer months. The entire bank
ing room will have a beautifully doc
orated ceiling with a specially de
signed lighting system.
What might be termed the feature
of the bank will be the use of the low
fixture idea, removing from the cus
tomer the sense of having to deal with j
men through a grating and the feeling
of personal touch coming from being
able to look a man squarely in the
face when doing business. This idea
has been used in practically all of the
more modern banks with universal
satisfaction both to patrons and to the
bank officials.
No part of the fixtures is above the
level of the customer's eyes and all of
which come above the level of the pay
plates will be constructed of the high
est grade of bronze work and plate
glass. The effect is more that of a
counter desk, with the bank cage idea
wholly eliminated. During banking
hours the tellers have their wickets
wide open. By clever planning, great
er protection against those criminally
inclined is afforded than with the old
lashioned screen or cage.
In consequence, the banking room
has a much larger appearance than
the old type of banking room and the
arrangement not alone is pleasing and
practicable so far as banking facili
ties are concerned, but it simplifies
the ventilation problem to a marked
degree, for the low fixtures do not im
pede the movement of air currents.
Officers' Quarters
The officers' space will be carpeted
with handsome rugs, these as well as
the furniture, being specially designee
to harmonize with the general decora
tive plan. The private offices and con
sultation rooms will have oak floors
and rugs, and be furnished with desks
and chairs made of American walnut
and especially designed for this bank.
The trust department will be simi
larly equipped, harmonizing with the
main banking room and the work of
this department, which is rather new
to the National Bank of Arizona, will
be featured for its service in the han
dling of trusts, bonds, real estate and
insurance. This department will be in
dependently housed, being placed in
the space now occupied by the barber
shop on the Central avenue side of
the building.
Convenience For Custoners
In the center of the lobby will be
provided marble endorsing desks for
the use of the customers. Instead of
the usual wood or marble tops, the
desks will have a solid plate glass top,
one inch thick, which enables the cus
tomer to see through the desk to the
floor. This method has been found to
be a safeguard against losses on the
part of the customers, for papers often
drop beneath the desk and would lie
unobserved if under a wooden or mar
ble top desk.
Ample seating space will be provided
in the lobby, with Morocco leather
cushion seats. The plans call for a
public telephone booth off the lobby,
housed for quietness. In the basement
is to be provided a rest room for lady
customers, which will be a rest room
in all that the word implies, for it will
appeal to their artistic taste in furni
ture and equipment, all being specially
designed for appropriateness.
Drinking fountains with ice water
also will be installed.
Heating and ventilation
A complete heating and cooling sys
tem is planned to keep the temperature
of the banking room from fifteen to
twenty degrees lower during the heated
period of the year than normal heat
would permit. The system will have a
sufficient capacity to change all the air
in .t ? bat king ro
The openings through which the air
will be blown into the room are de
signed into the standards of the en
dorsing desks, the ends of the Feats in
the lobby as well as under the tellers'
screens, the air passing through decor
ative grills in comformity with the
general plan. The system has been
cleverly designed to insure i complete
and perfect air circulation in all parts
of the room.
Noise Eliminated
The ordinary bank is ordinarily a
noisy place, with many peo;Ie travel
ing, with the noise of the statement
machines and the various devices used.
All of this will be eliminated as far
as possible by the removal of the noise
making devices to a sound proof work
room. Besides this, all space that is
used solely by the employes fl the
bank will be covered with a cork car
pet which not alone eliminates no'se
but also is easy under foot for those
working in the bank.
Convenience for Employes
Second only to the devices and im
provements for their patrons, the bank
officials have provided for their em-,
ployes, to make their work as pleasant
and comfortable as possible. In fact,
no expense has been spared that every
thing in the whole plan will be the best
obtainable. Besides spacious work
rooms, locker rooms have been pro
vided for the men employes and a rest
rom for the lady employes, the latter
room having a kitchenette for the
preparation of lunches. The toilets in
both of these rooms will be entirely
finished in marble and tile the eame as
those provided for .customers.
Owing to the fact that all vaults will
be in the basement, communication
can be hai by special elevator, which
will handle- all books, coin trucks, etc.,
that have to be placed in the vaults.
The bank officers are rather proud
of the plans for the safe deposit de
partment. Access to this department
will be had through electrically oper
ated grills, an attendant will always be
in charge, coupon booths provided and
close by this department will be a room
especially for meetings of board of di
rectors or conferences or any other
business which the bank's customers
may have. This allows for the tran
sacting of business without the re
moval of the books, papers or other
documents from the protected areas of
the bank vaults.
Electrical Devices
Kvery possible electrical device
known for bank safety is to be vised.
Massive vaults are to be constructed in
the basement and these are arranged
so that they may be enlarged at a
later date without destroying the work
already done. The coin and safe de
posit vaults will be protected against
an attack by burglars by the most
modern system of electric alarms. This
system consists of a close net work
of electric wires in lead-covered cables,
imbedded in the concrete walls, so ar
ranged that the cutting of any wire or
the connecting of any two wires will
turn in an alarm. The system is so
extremely sensitive tha-t the smallest
conceivable irregularity will sound an
alarm. The alarm consists of loud
gongs on the vaults, on the front of the
building and in police headquarters.
The usual idea of electrical vault pro
tection is to cause wires to be charged
with electricity by tampering; this
system is the reverse, the wires are
always charged and the breaking of
the circuit to even a slight degree calls
for help.
Should any one attempt to cut the
wires leading to headquarters prepar
atory to attacking the vaults, the alarm
will be sounded with the same vigor as
if the vaults themselves were attacked.
Should the system become out of order
for any reason, this too sounds a call.
The bank officials and the architect
have made very exhaustive examina
tion of this system and believe it to be
absolutely impregnable. This system
now protects some 20 000 vaults in the
country, not one of which has ever
been successfully attacked.
The same electrical devices which
give protection to the vaults are ex-
LO
tended to the banking room as a pro
tection against daylight robbery. But
tons may be touched conveniently and
unobserved, in any part of the room,
and the police called.
Disposal of Waste Paper
A unique and interesting feature that
is called for in the plans is the method
provided for the disposal of waste
paper. A source of considerable loss
is in the waste paper, where checks
and valuable papers may accidontly be
placed, the waste paper destroyed and
the loss not noted until later. Thirty
one bins will be provided for the waste
paper, one for each day in the month
and no paper will be destroyed that is
not over thirty days old. This method
has been used in a number of the
newer banks on the coast and several
instances are on record of the recov
ery of valuable papers.
Besides the public telephone booth
for customers and a private long dis
tance booth for the officers of tV
bank, and intercommunica.ting tele
phone system will cover the whole of
the banking rooms and basement.
The estimates on the cost 'of this
construction shows that about $ir0,000
will bo spent to give Phoenix and the
Salt River valley, the best in bankine
facilities that may be found in the
country. The bank will be larger than
modern ns nnv bank in the United I
States. Everything that can facilitate
v.-ork, T'l ovide against loss or errors has
been thought of and the architects,
Messrs. Lyman and Place of Tucson,
have traveled extensively to view new
banking idoas for this job. although
some of the best of our western bonks
havp been designed by them in the
past few years.
EN FfflUB IN '
WAR RISK IHRICE
Tl
Former service men are notified by
Director K. !. Cholmeiey Jones of the

ing to the Bureau of War Risk Insur
ance, Washington. D. C, or upon ap
plication .to organizations of former
service men and welfare organizations

has lapsed or been canceled, and who
wish to reinstate it or convert it, or to
effect both these processes at the same
time, are advised to secure a copy of
the official form, "Good News For All
Kx-Service Men," which is a combina
tion of information sheet and rein
statement and conversion blanks, the
latter to be filled out, detached and
mailed directly to the bureau.

man has been discharged or how long
his insurance lias lapsed or been can
celed, he may reinstate his war risk
insurance at any time before July 1,
1920. or witiiin 1H months after " his
discharge, if that be a later date, and

Six Ways
in which you
may have an
Automobile accident
You may be a careful driver, but any
of the following make an accident
possible :
1. The other driver who speeds around
a bad comer without warning or
signal.
2. The person who, on a rainy, windy
day, hides himself behind an umbrella.
O.
The person who becomes "rattled"
in a tight place in the traffic. .
4. The child who nans across the street
without stopping to look.
5. The man who steps from behind the
car immediately before you.
6. The old person, possibly deaf, who
crosses the street without the usual
precautions. -
Other hazards there are, too. Why not talk with
tis about an Arizona Mutual Automobile Insurance
Policy which will afford positive protection against
theft, accident, collision, fire and liability?
