This move, simultaneous with the banks Sixtieth Anniversary, is particularly significant. The completion of the new building marks the fourth major building project since the decision to establish a branch in Sunset was made. That office was completed in 1963. Structures in Syracuse and Clinton followed as preparation was made for them and, with this new facility, four completely modern Banking offices now serve the public in North Davis County. All are thoroughly in design, and in security and service capabilities, and are of adequate size to handle substantial growth. They are well situated and well maintained, and well staffed with knowledgable, understanding workers. V v Win Valuable Harold Prices -- Refreshments te - Gifts ( i |
