Among the special features of our new home is the Drive-Up Teller's window, located in the west wall and reached from Mountain Avenue through the one-way alley immediately back of the Bank. This arrangement affords an opportunity to the customer of driving up to the window in his car and doing business without leaving the driver's seat. Protected by a bullet-proof glass, the window is never opened, because an electric teletalk system permits conversation between teller and customer and a small hopper is provided for passage of deposits and money.

In the front wall of the building, next to the main entrance, is another convenience, the exterior depository. After closing hours, depositors who hold a key to one part of the depository may leave deposits in money bags; in the other part, without the necessity of a key, depositors may at any time make deposits in envelopes which drop through a slot to a vault inside the building from which they are removed by a teller for processing.

Between the Trust Department and the Personal Loan Department lies the entrance to the offices above the bank. The entrance opens upon a small lobby from which by elevator or stairs you may reach the second floor. A door in the rear of the lobby leads into the Bank.

Space in the basement, formerly of little value, has been utilized to relieve congestion on the main floor. Here is the Directors Room, a small but well-equipped kitchenette and lunch room, lounge and restrooms, utility rooms, a store room for bank supplies, and, separated from the rest of the basement by a fire-proof door, the heating and ventilating units.

For heating, a hot-water convector type gas furnace has been used, with radiators throughout the building being individually controlled. In the summer, cold water, chilled by a Westinghouse refrigerating unit, will run through the same convectors to keep the temperature down. Fresh air, heated in winter, will be constantly drawn from the outside and forced through the building.

Your attention is called to the effective manner in which contrasting colors have been used in the decorating. The Sandalwood brown and contrasting light tan used in the bookkeeping room is especially designed to relieve eye-strain.
