The lamar National Bank, Lamar, Colorado, which moved into its new quarters last fall, an interior view of which is the cover page of this num ber of the Mountain States Banker, boasts one of the handsomest and most complete banking houses in the prosperous Arkansas valley. The building front has been remod elled with a classic entrance archi trave lo give the exterior of the build ing a dignity in keeping with the banking institution. The entrance, through an ample vestibule wainscoatcd with marble and ! floored with rubber tile, leads one to | the main central lobby of the banking room. This spacious lobby, about thirty feet wide at the front and forty five feet deep, is floored with marble ar.d is enclosed on all sides with bank screen partition and railings of mar ble. plate glass and bronze. The four structural columns in the l center of the lobby are wainscoated with marble and are equipped with six individual check desks fitted with nlate glass tops, ink wells and station- ’ try for th - ' convenience of the custom ers. Handsome Conference Rooms. On the right ride of the lobby are the conference rooms and desk spaces for Mr. Lee and Mr. Adams. These 1 commodious quarters are wainscoted in mahogany, fitted with built-in tele phone booth and coat closet, and are furnished with desks, tables ard chairs of mahoguny. Next to the officers' quarters are the tellers’ cages. These cages are ar ranged with mahogany desks and cab- i inets and are enclosed on the rear with \ steel cage work. Behind these cages is a large, well ventilated working, space wliich receives an abundant 1 amount of north light from the win dows opening to Olive street. On the left of the lobby are marble railings enclosing spaces which can readily be converted into cages to han dle the future expansion of the bank’s business. There is also a ladies’ rest room, neatly furnished with brown reed chairs and mahogany writing desks, and the walls are panelled in ivory enamel which, together with the taupe colored portiers and rugs, makes a restful color scheme. In connection with this rest room is a well-appointed lavatory. At the rear, separated from the lob by by steel grille work, is a safe de posit customers’ space, having private booths for the convenience of the cus tomers. The vault is exceptionally large, with walls, roof und floor of heavy re inforced concrete, the construction having steel rods running in both di rections imbedded in the concrete. This vault has two modern burglar proof steel doors; one door gives di rect access to the safe deposit boxes from the customers’ space; the other communicates between the working space at the rear of the cages and the bank portion of the vault, which is equipped with steel filing cabinets, shelving and racks and also gives am ple space for the night storage of the steel omnibuses used by the tellers. At the right of the vault separated from the banking room by the glass partition, is a posting room. This ef fectually shields the banking quarters from the noise of the electrically oper ated bookkeeping machines. Well Lighted Directors’ Room. At the left of the vault is the direc tors’ room. This is surrounded by plaster walls, store room, etc., and is effectually isolated from the noise and confusion of the rest of the bank. It is illuminated by a skylight And is well ventilated and beautifully decorated; the furniture is of mahogany. There is a harmonious blending of colors in the banking room, the mar ble being San Saba with a Utah Gold en Travis base; the floor marble is Tennessee. This, with the bronze wickets and grille work, brown ma hogany partitions and furniture, the walls dene in imitation caen stone, the semi-indirect lighting fixtures, all con tribute to a very pleasing architectur al effect. The interior was designed and ex ecuted by The American Fixture Com pany of Denver, Colo. An Old Institution. The Lamar National Bank was or ganized August 1. 1908, as the State Bank of Lamar, being managed by L.' F. Adams, cashier, assisted by R. E. Adams, who was assistant cashier. M. Strain was the first president of the bank, which was then located in the ! ; Pike und Deeter block in the room j now occupied by the Lamar Book and Music store. In the spring of 1907 the bank bought the Foley building at the cor ner of Main street and Railroad ave nue, where it remained until its re moval to its present new quarters. : The bank received its national charter ; on March 1, 1908, at which time the capital stock was increased to $50,000. j C. M. liee, the present president, was 1 chosen to fill that place at the time of the death of Mr. Strain which occurred in the spring of 1913. L. F. Adams, cashier of the bank, died in the summer of 1912. and his brother, R. E. Adams, was elected to | fill the vacancy, which position he still holds. Shows Splendid Growth. The Umar National Bank has shown a steady growth in keeping with the development of the country tribu tary to Lamar and Prowers county. Its officers and directors are pioneer and substantial citizens of this section and are to be congratulated upon such a I substantial financial institution, j The officers, directors and employes of the Lamar National Bank are as fol lows: President. C. M. Lee; vice pres ident, B. T. McClave; cashier, Ray E. Adams; assistant cashier, W. W. Cooper; directors, besides the forego ing, M. J. McMillin and A. Deeter. The 1 employes of the bank are C. E. Ver rall. Grant Steams-Smith, Elizabeth Ford and Mrs. Curtis H. Gentry. The Umar National Bank is lo cated in one of the best agricultural towns in the West. Surrounded by much rich irrigated land with splen did grazing ranges farther back, it is I the center of intensified farming, at the same time the center of extensive J cattle and sheep activities. It is because of the constructive and i liberal policies adopted by the banks of Lamar that the farmers have found here co-workers in the town, and to gether—pulling harmoniously—success has been achieved in a community way. THE FIRST GUN Maine Stands Pat—Nelson Rambles in Easy Winner. Washington, March 28, — (Special correspondence). The Republicans have been very agreeably surprised and the Democrats severely disappoint ed by the result of the special election in the Third Congressional District of Maine. The Democrats expected an enormous slump in the Republican plurality. The Republicans, knowing that the election of 1920 reflected an abnormal situation, were free to ad mit that there would probably be a very great reduction in the Republi can lead. The result, however, shows that both were mistaken. The Repub lican candidate received 62 per cent of the total vote as compared with 6G per cent in the landslide year 1920. In 1910 the Third Congressional District of Maine was carried by the Democrats. Since that time the per centage of votes by which the Repub licans v/on were as follow’s: 1912—51 per cent. 1914 —51 per cent. 1916—54 per cent. 1918—68 per cent. 1920—66 per cent. 1922 —62 per cent. Of course, the Democrats, pursuing their usual policy of manipulating fig ures to deceive the public, will call at tention to the fact that the majority at the special election in 1922 is far smaller than the majority at the gen eral election in 1920. They will ig nore the fact that the smaller majori ty was due to the smaller total vote. In every’ State and in every Congress ional District there is always a smal ler vote in a special election than in a general election where the import ance of the contest and the number of offices to be filled draws a larger num ber of voters to the polls. The only fairway of determining the trend of public opinion is by a comparison of percentages. In this respect the show ing is all to the credit of the Republi can party. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
