Tliat situation was remedied ! by the erection of a uew building, •far more commodious and efflcient in I its interior thau the structure which j was abandoned. A few years ago Ithe bank opened a Tru.-.t Department land now acts as executor of estates, j guardian of minors and renders ev- ! ery service which a Trust Company jean give. This necessitated adding additional employees and requires SI ill more space, and in order to keep up with the increased business, the directors are considering the erection of a still larger banking house in the near future on the corner of Main and Mauch Chunk streets, on the lot purchased trom Mrs. Clara A. Knapp. The capita! is now $125,000, sur¬ plus and profits $2r,0,000, and de¬ posits over $3,000,000. The present officers are: :^. T. Swartz, President. John A. Miller, Vice-President. F. H. Schmidt.

Ever since the idea of the Xaza¬ reth Xational Bank took shape in the minds of its creators, even before tbere was a building, vaults, and other accessories of the business, Ihere has been but one ideal beliind j*—the vision of true community ser¬ vice. That this fundamental ideal has been recognized by the public is shown by the steady growth which has followed close adherence to a sound commercial policy. The fore¬ sight of the men who organized and have since conducted this bank has been proven by the expansion of the hank in after years. It grew with the town and helped the community to grow. Better credit facilities en¬ abled many new concerns to come to Tile large modern fritmc. .1^ Ijy T'l loot barn, filled with crops alr;ai]y liiii-vested, owned by Alfred S!iir.i.,i' . ud tenanted by .Mr. tind Mr.-.

rowth;'^'''.St"'il building was entirely inade- kuate. Tliat situation was remedied ! by the erection of a uew building, •far more commodious and efflcient in I its interior thau the structure which j was abandoned. A few years ago Ithe bank opened a Tru.-.t Department land now acts as executor of estates, j guardian of minors and renders ev- ! ery service which a Trust Company jean give. This necessitated adding additional employees and requires SI ill more space, and in order to keep up with the increased business, the directors are considering the erection of a still larger banking house in the near future on the corner of Main and Mauch Chunk streets, on the lot purchased trom Mrs. Clara A. Knapp. The capita! is now $125,000, sur¬ plus and profits $2r,0,000, and de¬ posits over $3,000,000. The present officers are: :^. T. Swartz, President. John A. Miller, Vice-President. F. H. Schmidt. Cashier. F. D. Heckman. Asst. Cashier. E. D. Trein, Asst. Tr. Offlcer. nircctors—Oeo. W. Lauh, John .\ Miller. A. 0. Schmidt, Thos. E. Sny¬ der, M. T. Swartz, J. W. Trumbower, and H. F. Ziegler.
dustries of Xazareth, and this vicin¬ ity, and also conclusively demon- .strates tha- the commercial policies of this bank are thoroughly sound.
Ever since the idea of the Xaza¬ reth Xational Bank took shape in the minds of its creators, even before tbere was a building, vaults, and other accessories of the business, Ihere has been but one ideal beliind j*—the vision of true community ser¬ vice. That this fundamental ideal has been recognized by the public is shown by the steady growth which has followed close adherence to a sound commercial policy. The fore¬ sight of the men who organized and have since conducted this bank has been proven by the expansion of the hank in after years. It grew with the town and helped the community to grow. Better credit facilities en¬ abled many new concerns to come to

Mrs. Seyfried, assisted by a num¬ ber of kind neighbors aud triends, v.ere able to save the live stock from being consumed by the fierce blaze.
.K still alarm for aid was sent to the Hecktown and N'azareth Fire lompanies. who immediately went to the rescue and by hemic work were a)ile to save the smaller buildings al¬ though handicapped by the want of sufficient water. Under the circum¬ stances they did excellent work.
The Hecktown company fought the fames with their chemical engine, refilling their tanks with waler car- r;ed there by a bucket brigade while a detail of the local company played a stream on what could be saved by drawing the water from a stream of surface wafer running along side of the pike swelled by the heavy rain.
The loss amounts to abont $S000, covered hy insurance.
