Introduction
Olney Savings Association
Announces Major Expansion
Olney Savings Association,
a $900 million savings and
loan with 30 offices through-
out North Central Texas,
announced today a major
expansion to its home office
building in Olney, Texas,
according to Alan D. Myers,
Jr., chairman and chief
executive officer.
A 26,200 square foot, two-
story extension with a one-
story connector has been
designed. The addition will
join to the east side of the
existing building bringing the
total facility to 56,00 square
feet.
Plans are being finalized
now and construction is
slated to begin by September
15. Completion is scheduled
for October, 1986, Myers said.
The board room, expansion
of the executive offices and
more corporate office space
will be located in the new
structure. The lobbby and
accounting facility of the
home office will remain the
same.
In 1981 a fire nearly
destroyed the home office.
Although employees were
displaced for periods ranging
from 12 to 15 months, not one
day of business was lost. The
facility was completely
renovated and an adjacent
building was remodeled to
provide office space for the
accounting department.
Myers said, The expansion
of our home office will allow
us to better serve the financial
needs of our customers in
Olney and the surrounding
communities.
John and Elaine Baen, of
Jacksboro, proudly announce
the birth of their son, Hunter
Wood, who was bom June 3,
1985 and arrived at their

Pharmacy & Your Health
A RESPECTED FAMILY
One of our most commonly used drugs is about 200 years old
and part of a family of naturally occurring substances which
have stood the test of time. Digoxin was the third most
frequently refilled medicine in 1984 and represented the tenth
most commonly dispensed new prescription.
Digoxin is a member of the digitalis family which traces its
"roots* to the foxglove plant. The medicines in the leaves of
foxglove are known as cardiac glycosides. These potent
medicines are used to treat congestive heart failure and certain
disturbances in heart beat rythm. Digoxin, and its chemical
cousins, cause the failing heart to empty more fully, contract
more forcefully, and beat more smoothly.
Some cardiac authorities are advocating the use of medicines
other than those in the digitalis family (such as vasodilators and
diuretics). Others prefer digitalis preparations over all others.
Rega dless of the future fate of digoxin, it has an excellent
history of relieving untold suffering and possibly extending the
lives of hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of persons. <
