Bank of Pleasant Grove Installs 2nd Electronic Posting Machine The expansion of the Bank of Pleasant Grove was reflected reflect-ed Tuesday in the installation of their second NCR Post-Tronic Post-Tronic posting machine. According Accor-ding to Kay L. Jacobs, cashier, the need for the new machine is a result of increased business from deposits of $4,082,000 in 1959 to $5,900,000 at this time. Five years ago the bank was posting approximately 2,500 items it-ems per day. They are presently present-ly posting over 4,000 items per day. Five employees are involved in-volved in the posting of checks now, as compared to three when their first machine was installed. "More efficient service and better support" for the patrons of the Bank of Pleasant Grove Battle The passing of an old friend or institution always stimulates the recollection of - the days when things were different than they are now: The recent announcement an-nouncement by the Studebaker Co. that it was closing its South Bend, Indiana automobile plant for good and all, stirred feelings feel-ings of somewhat sad nostalgia. nostal-gia. The Studebaker Company has been in the transportation, business for a long time. Since 1853, in fact. - Sometime during that year the two Studebaker brothers made a simple agreement, to wit: "I, Pete Studebaker, agree to sell all the wagons my brother, broth-er, Clem, can make." As I recall, the name "Stude- baker" was a household word in the 1890s. The company not only made the wagons, which .. were the standard of comparison compar-ison in those days; but also buggies, bug-gies, surreys, buckboards and "white tops." With the advent of the "internal "in-ternal combustion engine" and the decline of the horse-drawn vehicle, the Studebaker Co. branched out into the manufacture manufac-ture of the automobile. One of the classiest "turnouts" of the nineteens was a delux seven-passenger seven-passenger touring car, with demountable runs and "jump seats" for the extra two passen- gers. The stuaeDaKers went on from there. . Speaking of the wagons of yesteryear, they came in assor-'ted assor-'ted sizes to fit the needs of the users. There were the "Three and a Quarters," for general farm use; the "Three and a Halfs" for heavy freighting and ore hauling and the .-"Two and TTiree-Quarters" for the one-horse one-horse peddlers and farmers. The "size" of a wagon was determined by the diameter of is the way Mr. Jacobs express-himself express-himself in regard to the new machine. He said that the bank is fully aware of automated, computer type operation which is available to them. However, he said the bank prefers at this time to continue with "on premises" bookkeeping, which results in more locally employed employ-ed personnel. They feel that with their present volume of work, they are competitive with fully automated programs, and in addition able to give more personal attention to the clientele clien-tele of the bank. With the continued growth of the area served by the Bank of Pleasant Grove, Mr. Jacobs pledged continued growth and advancement for the bank to support the community. Creek fcK.il the "skein" at the end of the axel, where the wheel slipped on. - . There were available other makes of wagons in addition to (the Studebaker. Such as the "Peter Schuttler," the "Bain" and the "Cooper." Neither of the last three mentioned, however, how-ever, went in for buggies and lighter vehicles, to any great extent. Back in the heydayrf the Studebaker vehicles, the ambition ambi-tion of every young swain was the ownership of a wagon and a good team. It meant the difference dif-ference between working single handed for $1.50 per day or double that amount for "wagon "wag-on and team." Just as the modern young" blade knows all about carbur etors, crank shafts, transmissions, transmis-sions, timing gears, etc, no self-respecting self-respecting youth in our day was considered up to snuff if he was ignorant of the partsof a wagon. Show me the modern boy or young man today that knows about: skeins, hubs, felloes, front hounds, rear hounds, brake bars, brake combs, tongues, reaches, barrel bar-rel boards, bows, king bolts, clevises, ' neck yokes, bolsters and jockey boxes. It's a different age we live in and just as well. Gas-burning vehicles are much more com fortable than the old-style vehicles, ve-hicles, drawn by hay-burning quadrupeds. Especially in the winter time. ." - - My friend Era Ash told me last week that he purchased his first wagon "wholesale" from Uncle Al Cullimore for $190. The only "guarantee" he had was a lot of hard hauling to pay for it at $10 per month.

Large signs will soon be installed in-stalled designating "school" and "church" zones.
