J. F. WILD & CO. BUILDING COST PUT AT $850,000 Contract for 12-Story Struc ture Let to Bedford Con struction Company. The contract for the new twelve-story bank and office building to be erected by I. F. Wild & Cos., 123 East Mar ket street, has been let to the Bedford Stone and Construction Company of this city, according to an announcement made by officials of the bank. Although exact figures as to the amount of the bid of the successful company were net given out. Fermer Cannon, ar chitect of the building, said he believes the building, when completed and equipped, will cost approximately $850,, 000. Work on the new building will be be gun within ten days. Mr. Cannon said, and he added that unless unforseen cir cumstances arise, it will be ready for occupancy by next Christmas. MSB BIDOERS ON CONSTRI CTION'. Nine bids for the general construction work were received. Bidders other than Ihe Bfdford Stone and Construction Com pany were: J. B. Goodall and Sons, Peru, Ind.; Seidon-Breck Construction Company, W. M. Sutherland Building and Construction Company, and the Gamble Construction Company, all of St. J. Mo.; William Schumacher Com pany, William P. Jungclaus Company, Cornell Engineering Company and Con ner and Culbertson, all of Indianapolis. The outstanding feature of the con struction will be that the new building will be erected on the very spot now occupied by the bank without necessitat ing any change in bank quarters. In other words the building will be built around the business without disturbing it. The banking business will be carried on in the west side of the present build ing while the east side is wrecked and temporary walls erected. When the east one-third of the building has been com pleted to the second story the bank mil move into it and then the west side will be wrecked.

The President wishes the country and Con gress to know it is his very enthusiastic opiulon the United States Government should take cognizance of the 150th an niversary of the Declaration of Inde pendence. Mr. Harding is not con cerned at the moment with the form of Federal participation and support of the sesqui-centennial project* That is a de tail which he thinks safely may be left “to be worked out.” What the President wishes to emphasize, and did emphasize, is the sesqui-centennial of the birth of American liberty is an important land mark in the history of the Republic and merits commensurate commemoration. — Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Com pany. ing will be modern and np-to-date in every particular and the banking depart ment will contain many unusual and at tractive features. The building will oc cupy a space 65xS0 feet and will be fin ished on three sides with Bedford sand stone. The barking room proper wilt con tain six terracotta columns decorated in arabesque ornament. The pavement will be of marble. There will be no glass screens in the bank. All cages will have bronze wicket windows, and the teller occupying the cage will see only the customer directly in front of him, and will not be de tracted by seeing all over the room. This is a radical departure in bank architec ture. The president's room will have the side walls paneled from floor to ceiling and he finish will be English oak. A large fireplace will add to the attractiveness of the room. WOMEN’S ROOM OF COLONIAL DESIGN. Special attention has been given to the women's room, which will be located on the first floor. 2s will be colonial in design and equipment, even the furni ture being of this type. The bond department of the bank will be located on she second floor and the savings department lock bojes and vaults will be in the basement. Two Success! It was instantaneous! From the moment the doors of the Indianapolis Show opened the larg est crowd has always been found around the Rickenbacker exhibit. This car has taken Indianapolis by storm. Probably never before has a motor car created such genuine interest. This Six was pronounced by many of the industry’s leading engineers as being the biggest step forward in motor car design in years. And why not ? Who knows motors better than Capt. E. V. Ricken backer. What’s more, associated with Capt. Rickenbacker are some of the in dustry’s leading figures—Everitt, Flanders, Hood, Cunningham, Tichenor, Evans, Drumpelmann, Miller—all men who individually have held first-line positions in the industry! Such a group of men know how to produce a real value. They know motor car designs; they know the very best production practice. The Rickenbacker is the sweetest running motor you ever sat behind. *1485 5-Passenger Phaeton special bank elevators, one for passen gers, will run from the second floor to the basement.
