Altaoegh the officials were free in

Use Federal Reserve Track.
According to a definite schedule
already prepared the money truck
belonging to the Federal Reserve
bank was ready to receive the money
sua securities amounting to more
than S3.0OO.O0O and transport them
to the specially constructed vaults in
the bank's new home.
Officers and plainclothes men de-
tailed by Chief of Police Tom Good-
son were on hand to guard the trea-
sure car on its short journey around
the corner from the Preston avenue
location to the middle of the block
on Main street
An expert moving crew consisting
of 16 men assisted by the employes
of the bank were busy for hours as-
sembling and packing the adding ma-
chines typewriters bookkeeping ma-
chines filing cabinets stationery and
other bank equipment These were
loaded into tbe moving trucks after
a carefully prepared plan which
enabled the crew in the new quarters
to take them at once to the places
assigned them.
Formal Opealai Postponed.
When the bank opens for busi-
ness Monday at 8 a. m. only a small
part 6f ifs quarters will be in use
due to the fact that the new furni-
ture and fixtures have not been in-
stalled. A temporary partition will
separate ithe workmen at the back
from the space allotted temporarily
to tbe bank's business Tbe formal
opening has been postponed until the
building ; is entirely completed.
During the period of adjustment.
J. A. Wilkins president; H. M. Wil-
kins. Vice president; snd Allan H.
King cashier will have their desks
assembled dose together in the front
part of tbe first floor. J. M. Jack-
son vice president who has charge
of assigning the office space in the
building will hare his office in the
directors' room on the mexxanine
floor.
Embodies Distinctive Features
The construction of the present
building was announced by J. A. Wil-
kins the president on September 3
1022 It was the plan of the dlrec
tors that this new home should rep-
resent the very best in modern build-
ing methods and tbe handsome sky-
scraper embodies several distinctive
architectural features. Among them
are the granite front extending two
and a half stories high the effect
of a row of columns two stories tall
extending across the top the name
of tbe bank in copper letters weath-
ering to bronxe high up on four aides
of the building the construction of
a club for employes on the roof and
the especially designed doarway.
Eight years seems a short time in
retrospect but it has witnessed the
beginning and successful development
of an institution which takes ita place
today in the front rank of Houston
banks. Although tha bank's first
quarters were small and unattractive
in appearance its business baa had a
continuoua growth which finally made
11 necessary co provide larger quar
ters. The result waa the new sky-
scraper home costing approximately
