figure in banking circles up until the
present, when the Atlantic City
National boasts a capital of $200,000
and surplus and profits amounting
to $700^661.01, the bank has always
been featured and spoken of as one
of the greatest sources of aid to the
business man. -M>| n • - m',
The Atlantic City National Bank
is not merely a powerful guardian
that maintains a vigilant watch over
funds and valuables that are left
within its ponderous vaults for safe
keeping. It is also a staunch friend
of the business man that plays the
versatile role of advisor and assistant,
aided by its ample resources and deal
ings that involve the very best in
rpodern banking facilities. It has
helped to pave the way to success
and prosperity for the city and its
inhabitants.

Bank continues to maintain its
dignity of position. Its officers and
directors include: J. Haines Lippin
cott, president; William Bartlett
and John C. Slape, vice-presidents;
Lemuel E. Conover, cashier—all men
who have studied and gone through
the problems of the resort until they
have won places for themselves as
leaders in the financial affairs of
the city.
L. L. Jones Company
Twenty Years in the Gas and
Electric Fixture Business Has
Brought Well Merited
Fame
Twenty years in the gas and electric
fixture business. That is the record
of the L. L. Jones Company as Atlan
tic City’s leading lighting contractors.
First located on New York Avenue,

pany, later changed the site of the
firm to the larger and more modem

Avenue, where today the company

Absecon Island.
To the practical, a bit of wire, a
socket and a lamp are all that is
required for the lighting fixture, but
a survey of the L. L. Jones store on

easily be justified in making such a
mistake, for there is much of the
artistic in evidence in the lighting
fixtures of the L. L. Jones Company.
Beautiful vases and delicate lamps
that bring to mind the quaint fixtures
of days of old, as well as serviceable
office lights and standard home fix
tures, all serve to make the lighting
question very easy if solved by the
L. L. Jones Company.
In line with its twenty years $f
experience in the game, the L. L.
Jones Company has, incidentally,
been awarded the contract for the
lighting fixtures that are part yof the
equipment of the handsome new
structure that houses the Chelsea
branch of the Eldredge Warehouse.
Aside from gas and electric fix
tures of every design and variety,
electrical appliances are listed among
the many features of the company,
and whether it be an electric washing
machine or a flashlight, a vacuum
cleaner or an electric cook stove, it
will be found at L. L. Jones if it is
a recognized electrical appliance.
Experts in the installation and
wiring end of the game, a specif
staff of n>en are in the employxd the
L. L. Jones Company, and they are
at your service to study your light
ing problems and uphold the name of

as the biggest lamp dealers in South
Jersey. Electric lights answering
every purpose in the home, office,
store or plant are included in their
large stock of lighting equipment,

sort ancr member of the Kotary Club,
and H. L. Boston, secretary and
treasurer of the company, have es

its twenty years of service, have

Seashore Supply Company
Remarkable Growth of Business
Established Only Five Years
Ago—Covers Entire Block
Located at New York and
Mediterranean Aves., the estab
lishment of the Seashore Supply
company covers an entire block,
and the problem now becoming
serious with the management is
just how to continue the rapid,
expansion and growth of the
i business when the present accom
modations become too cramped,
as is certain to be the case with
in a comparatively short time if
the business continues to grow
as rapidly as it has grown since
its establishment in 1919.
Carrying a full line of sanitary
appliances, steam, gas and water
supplies, tools and the like, the
stock of the Seashore Supply
company is very large and in
cludes practically everything in
this line that can be called for.
Indeed, the full list of articles
carried by the company contains
about 18,000 different articles.
At the time of the establish
