The small careful man, using a good system in his business, r.nd guarding against
the small leaks, is pretty sure to succeed.
We appreciate the accounts of the small
and careful business man, and will give
him the same individual service and consideration that we do the larger one.

demonstrated christian efficiency in

Now that the miracle of spring is

Charles M. Sheldon gives some good
advice how to enjoy Sunday. Stay at
home Saturday night, and get acquainted with your family. Get up
early Sunday morning and help do
the necessary work. Don't sit around
and read the Sunday paper. Let the
Sunday meals demand a minimum of
labor for housekeepers. Become a
personal worker for God, scatter sunshine and cheer along the pathway of
others. Don't find fault with the
choir and the preacher, but get all
the good you can. out of church ser-<
vice, either as a worker or a good
listener and doer. Rememher you
are far from perfect yourself, so don't
throw stones. Close the day with a
song and prayer, that on the morrow
and every day you may lead a more
exemplary life.

SAVINGS BANK OPENING
Drew a Large  Crowd—Many From
Out of Town in Attendance.
One of the monuments to the prosperity and thrift of the people of Saline and vicinity is the handsome new
home of the Saline Savings Bank on
the corner of South Ann Arbor street
and Michigan avenue. The officers
and directors of the bank held "open
house" on Tuesday evening, May 1,
in «he way of an informal reception
and to give the people of Saline the
oppoitunity to inspect a complete and.
modern banking house. The day
chosen unfoitunately proved to be
about one of the worst of our long
cold spiing, but notwithstanding, the
spacious building was continually
thronged with people from. 6:30 to 10
o'c'o.k. Tie visitors were received
hy president of the bank, George
Burkhart and Mrs. Burkhart, Cashier
George A. Lehman and Mrs. Lehman,
Vice Presidents George J. Mann and
Gottlob Hertler, and were shown
through the banking offices by Assistant Cashier E. D. Skinner and Directors R. L. Finch, George J. Feldkamp, J. H. Feldkamp and Frank
Rose. ,
As a souvenir of the evening each
lady was presented a carnation;
cigars were passed to the- gentlemen
and punch was served. One of the
most attractive features was the
music furnished throughout the evening by the U. S. Orchestra of Saline..
The lobby and offices were handsomely decorated with ferns and baskets of roses which were the congratulatory gifts of the Citizens
Bank of Saline and numerous banks
of Detroit. Banker friends were present from Detroit, Ann Arbor and
neighboring towns.
The building is a handsome one-
story structure built exclusively for
the bank's use with the exception of
a small store in the rear fronting on
Ann Arbor street, which is already
occupied by Clark & Ormsby as a
baiber shop and jewelry "store. The
architecture and construction of the
huilding are of the latest type. The
exterior is of Bedford lime stone and
tapestry brick and is artistically designed with Italian marble columns
on either side of the front entrance
and substantial piasters at the Ann
Arbor street entrance.
The most modern conveniences
have been installed in the building.
The heating system is the latest vapor steam type with hot and cold
water connections, and the ventilation of the building is of the very
best. The lighting, one. of the most
essential factors in a bank, has been
well taken care of; The windows are
so arranged as to afford the best possible daylight, and the electric lighting system is of the latest semi-indirect type, giving abundance of soft
mellow illumination.
The front entrance on Michigan
avenue opens directly into the lobby
which is finished in Italian English
veined marble and antique-English
oak, with a floor of Terrazzo. The
counter screens are of solid brass
and plate glass. The cashier's office
is at the right of the front entrance
and directly back of this are the customers' windows and working cages,
which are arranged and equipped
with the view of rendering-the quickest possible service to the bank's
clients. In the rear, and easily accessible to the Ann Arbor street entrance, is a room to be used by the
public for business consultations or
the meeting of committees. Directly
back of this is a room fitted up for
the exclusive use of the ladies and
children. To the left of the ladies'
room is the directors room, handsomely furnished in quartered oak.
The vault located in the rear of the
work offices Is constructed entirely of
eonfcrete and steel and is of the most
modern burglar and fireproof pattern.
The walls are from 12 to 24 inches
in thickness and throughout the concrete are solid iron bars running
four inches apart both ways.
The vault door is a three ton hur;-
glar proof door, made up with two
solid ohe-half inch open hearth steel
inside doors locking with heavy steel
holts.
The outer door is nine inches thick
over all, the solid construction being four inches thick and consisting
of alternating plates of open hearth
steel and five-ply* drill proof Chrome
steel. The door locks by means of the
Universal bolt system consisting of
20 round bolts one and one-half inches
in diameter operating at top, bottom
and sides of the door through a con
tinuous steel frame, and is equipped
with double combination lock. The
door is fitted with a substantial day
gate with alarm bell attachment, and
is also equipped with an interior unlocking device, which, in the event
of employes of the bank being locked
in the vault by hold-up men, they
-ean release themselves very quickly,
(less than one minute it is claimed).
The inside of the vault is equipped
with 180 safety deposit boxes. These
range in size from the small individual boxes to those large enough for
the storing of bulky articles, such as
silverware and other valuables.
The bank, though less than nine
-■years old, is practically in the
$400,000 class, its past published
statement to the state hanking commissioner showing total resources of
$391,093.07, and surplus and profits of
approximately $20,000.
The officers and directors have long
felt the need of larger quarters for
their rapidly growing business and in
the erection of the building just completed have taken into consideration
the improvement of the town, which
has so liberally supported their institution, and have aimed to provide for
the people of this community modern
and up to date banking facilities.
