Arranges 24 Hour
Depository Service
State Bank and Trust Company
Installs New Convenience
for Business Patrons
For the convenience of business
customers wishing to reduce the
amount of cash carried in the till
over night, the State bank and Trust
company of Redwood Falls has com
pleted the installation of a modern
“after hour depository” box.
No longer need merchants and
other business customers worry about
money received late afternoon or dur
ing the evening, for cash receipts
may be deposited at any hour of the
night or day.
To make use of this service the
customer applies to the bank for a
key to the depository box, a leather
canvas-lined deposit bag with its
patented hookless fastner zipper top,
padlock and keys. At the close of the
business day the customer counts the
cash, and places it within the deposit
bag, locks it and brings the bag to
the “after hour depository box.’
Each customer who has applied for
this service has a key which unlocks
the entrance door of the deposit box
in the wall of the bank building. The
deposit receiver returns to a closed
position and automatically counts the
bags.
I Hnnlr r*fic ; «»ls make a check of all
j" “after hour” deposits every morning
and transfer the bags to the teller’s
cage where the customers call for
them the following day at their con
venience and unlock the bag for the
officials and complete the deposit in
the usual way.
The “after hour depository” head,
chute and safe are made of heavy
steel, imbedded in concrete, reinforc
ed with steel rods.
The depository is further protected
with complete electrical protection
with connection to the bank’s burg
lar alarm system.
The after hour depository is a pro
duct of the O. B. McClintock com
pany, Minneapolis, Minn., the largest
and most complete organization of its
kind in the world.
Christmas Shoppers
Favor Staple Goods
Local Merchants Have Fairly
Brisk Trade During the
Holiday Season
Better than most merchants ex
pected was the Christmas shopping
in Redwood Falls this season, consid
ering the business conditions preval
ent throughout the country.
Good weather and roads undoubt
edly contributed to increase the holi
day trade which started early in De
cember and continued steadily up to
the last minute.
One local retailer expressed him
self as saying that shopping was done
earlier this year than last year, and
that business had been fairly good
every day, while last year much of
the trade came in on only a few days.
Confining purchases to the more
practical staple goods, folks on the
whole have not been buying the so
called luxury items as in former
years, but were buying more articles
from which maximum use and benefit
could be derived.
Aged Sleepy Eye Man

Last Thursday evening, Louie
Ringleback, aged bachelor of Sleepy

James W. Byram and Margarette
McNaughton Receive “U” Degrees
Among the 250 students graduating
last week from the University of
Minnesota were two former high
school students, Miss Margairette
Ralston McNaughton and James Wal
demor Byram. Miss McNaughton
completed the work for her Masters
of Arts degree and Mr. Byram was
awarded the degrees of Bachelor of
Science and Bachelor of Medicine.
Miss McNaughton’s graduate work
was done with a major in English
and a minor in Latin these courses
preparatory to teaching languages.
It will be remembered that she was
graduated cum laude from Macalester
College in 1922, following graduation
with several years of teaching includ
ing work in the Redwood Falls high
school. The subject of Miss Mc-
Naughton’s Masters thesis is “The
Principle Influences of Richard Steel’s
Comedy.”
It will be recalled that Mr. Byram
re-entered the Redwood Falls high
school after several years away from
school, and completed the four years’
course in much less than the prescrib
ed time, also duplicating this feat at
the University. His graduation will
be followed by a period of hospital
training, giving him the training
necessary to taking up his work as
Doctor of Medicine.

WEEK OF BELOW
ZERO WEATHER THIS
TIME LAST YEAR
The weatherman has been unusual
ly favorable this year, with less
snowfall than last year, and only on
two occasions was the temperature
below zero.
Undoubtedly this has had a bear
ing on the trade conditions in this
city. During the month of November
there was a little short of 3.0 preci
pitation recorded, while last year 4.5
was recorded by N. B. Andersen,
local weather observor.
Last there v ' * .5/ moisture,
and up to December 22 this year only
a meagre .3 had been recorded On
three occasions there were snow flur
ries, while a light snow fall was re
corded in the earlier part of the
month
Only twice has the temperature
dropped below the zero mark in De
cember, once two below, and once six
below. Compare this with last year’a
record: Dec. 18, -18; Dec. 19, -15;
Dec. 20, -8; Dec. 21, -5; Dec. 22, -10;
Dec. 23, -5; Dec. 24, 8 above, and
Dec. 25, 5 above.
It has been predicted that a cold
spell would set in this week and con
tinue throughout January. Last
January there was a siege of below
weather, the temperature varying
from two below to 25 below in 22
days out of the 31.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schottenbauer
and daughter Mary Kathryn will
spend Christmas and New Years with
Mrs. Schottenbauer’s relatives at

Mammoth Granite
Project Development
To Construct Railroad Spur to
Rush Heavy Machinery to
35 Acre Quarry
At an estimated cost of SIOO,OOO
the American Black Granite company
of Ashland, Wisconsin, has made ar
rangements for the development of a
large quarry near Morton.
Purchasing the remaining portion
of the Dallenbach property, rich in
granite deposits, this company has
acquired a 35 acre tract of land.
Negotiations for the right of way
land for the railroad spur which will
lead from the M. & St. L. railway are
being made. It will cross highway
No. 14 west of the Steve Olson build
ings. This spur will be about a quart
er of a mile in length.
Work will begin as soon as a con
tractor can be secured to build the
grade for the railroad spur. Upon
the completion of this spur the heavy
machinery can be transported to the
quarrying region.
Plans for the development of this
mammoth project include beside an
equipment of saws, the installation of
a 100-ton derrick and hoist.
This new quarry is located about
eight miles from the property recent
ly acquired by A, R. A. Laudon and
company. At present workmen are
engaged exploring black granite de
posits on their property. The possi
bilities of developing this piece of
property is as yet unknown. Work
men are drilling, seeking a solid bed
rock beneath the seamed surface de
posit, according to Mr. Laudon.
