The HOUSE
SILENT witness' of the pro
gress of America is the House
First, it was a log cabin which
attested the desire of the pioneer to
provide shelter for his loved ones
and possessions.
' '', Next, lumber was employed for
- building and American genius
used it to give to the world our
. famous Colonial style of design.
Then came brick, v with its super
ior quality of permanence and safe ,
ty, but lacking in those elements of
shapeliness which form the lines
of true beauty. .
And now, we have also stone
and steel, concrete" and tile, bronze
and terra cottamaterials. that com
bine into a house of perfection. And
now America has reached the
highest pinnacle of evolution, as
the House shows and proves. .

the SYSTEM
THERE'S no selfish motive in
our mind when we assert that
the most universally userul agency
in America is our banking system.
All our vast commercial inter
ests, our great industrial organiza
ftion, our public service enterprises
-all these and from these down to
the roots of the weltare of every in--.dividual
life--look to our banking
system for their very possibility
and existence.
Our banking system is a tre
mendous and tireless machine-of
which the products are economic
efficiency, national safety and indi
vidual prosperit'.
Every woi thy man and woman
. may command our banking system
--or the Bank of French Broad, if ,
you please to labor without ceas
ing in their behalf! .
. and to this end we pledge our
' entire organization, with the fine
conveniences of our new building,
to all who shall honor lis with
Their patr oriageT '
