The FARMERS BANKING AND TRUST
COMPANY has erected a magnificent electric
illuminated clock on the front of its bank
building, not only adding materially to the ap
pearance of the business section of Tarboro, but
providing a convenience that will undoubtedly
be greatly appreciated by the general public.
The most distinctive feature of the clock,
other than its unusually artistic appearance and
the perfection of its construction and mecha n-
ism, is the complete salt of 'Westminster chimes
with which it is equipped., These ring every
quarter hour and may be heard practically a
far as the clock may be seen.
The big clocks are operated by electricity
from a master clock inside the building, in the
main banking room. This' is an especially hand
. some structure of bronze and plate glass con
struction, with a. 12-inch dial, and guaranteed
to keep practically perfect time. For every
minute the hands of the big clock are sent ahead
one minute by electricity gqverned by the mas-
ter clock within, the jconnction between the
two instruments being jperfect and insuring cor
rect time on the Iarge.clocks on the outside as
well on the master clock inside. .
The clock is attached to the front of the bank
building at a sufficient elevation to be plainly
visible from all parts of Main street. The clock
is 7 feet in height by 2 1-2 feet in width, of dark
bronze, with copper hodd at top and bottom.
Both faces of the clock are alike, the dial being
surmounted by the words "Farmers Banking
& Trust Company" in Ilrel:'illuminated letters.
This is provided, by a sheet of copper in which
are cut the letters, laid oveP pure pearl white
glass, with crystal plate glass on the outside.
The dials of the clock are 24 inches in diam
eter, on pearl whits glass, with crystal glass on
the outside.
Vice President G. P. Hood, of the Farmers
Banking & Trust Company offers the following
explanation of the -fceautiful Westminster
chimes, consisting of five tubular chime bells,
with which the clock is ejp.iipped, giving inter
esting information regarding the chimes them
selves as well as explaining ,the objects which
have prompted the bank to offer the public the
many advantages to be derived and enjoyed
from this beautiful clock:
"As a home institution serving the people
of this locality -enjoying your good will and
business favors, we huve tn tf.e pest endeavored
to show our appreciation bypresenting our pa-
trons with calendars and novelties, and other-
wise recognizing your cooperation in making
this a serviceable and successful banking house.
T made possible only by your support. ( We want- X!
X ed to show our appreciation in a .substantial T
way and have therefore purchased bf the man
ufacturers, the O. B. McCIintock Company, of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, including the exclusive
rights for this city, a large, handsome clock
combined .with a set of the softes and, most
beautiful chimes ever heard in any city of the
; old or new world.
THE CHIMES
"Lord", through this hour,
Be Thou our guide
i V- So by Thy power
i No foot shall slide."
I "Everyone who has lived within sound of the
t bells of Westminster is familiar with the verse
; given above. The origin of the carillon has
' never been positively established. Some writers
i accredit it to a Mr. Crouch, who was a pupil
of Dr. Randall, Regius Professor of Music. This,
i however, is disputed by other writers who ac-
rtff it if tn Dr. Randiill'a rrnrntinn Af th idea
opening of Haendel's Symphony, 'I' know that
my Redeemer liveth." The chimes Were first
fitted to the clock of the University church, St.
Mary's the Great, in Cambridge, but were not
copied until they were reproduced oh a very
large scale in the Victrola clock tower of the
House of Parliament.
"At the quarter, half and three-quarter hour,
these chimes will ring out in various musical
I combinations. At a quarter pr.cl the hour, four
I strokes Westminster; at half past the hour, '
' eight strokes Reveille; at three-quarters past t
"s the hour, twelve stroke- Cathedral peal, and
'len the hour, sixteen strokes Westminster fol-
lowed by the striking of the full hour, in a clear
vibrant tone.
"Every day of the week the chimes will be
sounding their message the note of Warning
spoken in time; the chime of rejoicing; the la
ment in time of sorrow. This chime'will be all
, things to all men for it is going to belong not
' - to us alone, but to men end women and children
I of our community."
j Mr. Hood concluded:,
"Our bank started business during the year
: 1910 and this clock is our tenth anniversary gift
to the people of Edgecombe County.
