hands in and around the village.
Mr. and Mrs. 0. C. Hoyt, who for
several years have owned the Box on Dun
dee Road, sold this attractive bungalow
last spring to Mr. Chas. H. Smith of
Baltusrol, N. Y., who will occupy it.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt will continue to visit
Pinehurst winters, but will stay at the
Carolina Hotel.
Mrs. W. H. Nearing of Hollywood,
California, has purchased ' the bungalow
built by Mr. Hugh C. McKenzie and
formerly occupied by him and his family,
which is also on Dundee Road, almost
directly opposite The Box. Mrs. Nearing
has owned a home in Hollywood for the
past three years, but she finds the journey
to and from her old home in New York
so difficult that she has concluded to
spend her winters in the east, and has
selected Pinehurst because of its superb
climate, which-she saysus. superior to that
of California. Mrs. Nearing has spent
several seasons in hotels here and is there
fore a competent judge.
Mr. I. C. Sledge, Treasurer of Pinehurst,
Incorporated, has bought the "Elm",
now occupied by Mr. H. C. Buchan and
family. Mr. Buchan expects to move
into the house on the south side of Mid
land Road which he acquired last spring,
and Mr. Sledge will occupy the Elm.
Mrs. E. C. Bliss, who completed the
handsome Chatham cottage on Dogwood
Road opposite the Pinecrest Inn last
winter, has bought from Miss M. L.
Watts, the adjacent lot between her prop
erty and that of Mr. S. A. Hennessee.
This gives Mrs. Bliss a plot with some
thing over a 100 feet road frontage
and greatly improves her holdings.
The house built last winter by Pine
hurst, Incorporated, on the lot next to
that of Mr. Geo. A. Magoon on Chin
quapin Road has become the property of
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Taylor who have lived
there since the house was built.
A sale which will probably result in
another commercial building was that of

The New Home of the Bank of Pinehurst
next to the old one, and is one of the
notable structures of the village. It
is two stories high with every banking
convenience on the first floor, and a
number of rooms above which will be
used as offices or sleeping rooms to in
sure an income until they are needed for
the bank. The material used in the
building is solid concrete for the base
ment, hollow tile for the walls above the
ground, and flat tile for the roof. The
finish over the hollow tile in the walls is
Kelastone, a mixture of ground marble
and other crushed stone. The interior is
finished in tile furnished by the Rook
wood Potteries of Cincinnati, made
especially for the purpose from the archi
tect's drawings.
The vault outfit is what is known as
the Mosler Safe Company's outfit No.
10, and is as nearly burglar-proof as vaults
get to be. Both door and linings are of
the latest design and most improved type.
The door is of non-burnable chrome steel
ten inches thick fitted with 24 bolts three
and three-eighths inches in diameter.
There are two double combination locks
and four t!me locks. The door and vesti
bule together weigh 14,500 pounds, while
the door alone weighs five tons. Grating
doors divide the vault, the front portion of
which is equipped with an adequate sup
ply of safety deposit boxes, varying
in size from a few inches up to twelve
inches high, twelve- inches wide and
twenty-four inches deep. These boxes will
be for rent and fill a demand that has
long existed in this section for a place
where valuables may be deposited in
safety.
The origin of the bank began with the
suggestion by Mr. Hurd, who had owned
and occupied a winter residence in Pine
hurst for many years, that it would be a
good thing for some of the winter resi
dents to unite and build a fire-proof and
reasonably burglar-proof building for the
storage of valuables during their absence
through the summer season. The idea
grew and rapidly developed into plans
for the organization of a bank. Several
