receiving safe, open It and
credit the contents to the de-
positor's account or, when de-
sired, the bank will hold the
locked bag to await arrival of
the depositor during the day at
which time the depositor un-
locks the bag and makes his
depcslt In the regular manner.
In either event the empty bag
Is returned to the depositor for
future use.
Thus, during the night the
deposits are amply protected
lnstde the bank. A series of
baffle plates or Ungers .in the
metal chute are designed to
prevent withdrawal of contents
through entrance door by wires
or other means.
The installation of this Night
Deposit System by The West
National Bank not only pro-
vides a much-needed, ultra-
modern service equal to that
offered depositors in the largest
cities, but also reflects the pro-
gressive policy of this popular
Institution which is always alert
to the best Interest of its cus-
cmers. The West. National Bank
was the first local firm to do
their own street paving. The
firm was first to install Safety
Deposit B-xes, and first ln the
installation of the Reccrdak
Photographic System of checks
and documents. The bank has
also led In bond sales both dur-
ing and since the war.
Merchants and professional
men of this city and vicinity
will no doubt be quick to take
advantage cf the new night de-
posit service and thus relieve
themselves cf the responsibility,
worry and 'danger heretofore
associated with the care of their
cash receipts after banking
hours.

COSTLY HOBBY.
Wise. Va. — Lee F. Craiger is
so fond of birds that, a month
ag;, when he went out to his
ht'avy truck and found that a
wren had built her nest In the
tool compartment and was sit-
ting on a nest of eggs, he bought
another truck to use so as not to
disturb the bird. Craiger re-
ceived his reward — there’s a
nest full of baby birds._
