TUESDAY MAY 15, 1923 ?2.00 A YEAP. IN ADVANCE (Si i Mr iw em FIRST NAUONAL BUYS MILLER BLOCK FOR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND. Deal Is Largest In Busi ness Property In Shel by's History-Home for First National on First Floor With Offices on Upper Floors. For the sum of $100,000 the First National bank directors at a special meeting Saturday night decided to purchased the Miller block, coiner of Warren and La Fayette streets on which will be erected a six story fire proof banking building that will cost between $150,000 and $200,000, ac cording to an announcement made yesterday by President C. C. Clan ton of the First National bank. This is the largest deal in up-town business property in the history of Shelby and the building to be erected on the cor ner of the Miller block will be the tallest, largest and most expensive business property in Shelby, a build ing that will be a credit to the town and a monument to First National ex pansion. Plans for the building have not ma tured and it may be a year or more before actual construction is begun, but Mr. Blanton states that the en tire first floor will be used by the First National and be the last word in convenience and suitability i banking purposes. The upper floors will be made into offices which the bank will rent to law yers, dentists," doctors and business men. The building will be fire proof, have elevator service, steam heat and everything else to make it, strictly modern in every respect. For some time this contemplated declopment on the part of the First National has been rumored, but no definite steps were taken until Satur- dav nieht when the directors vnt-d tin animously to buy the Miller blo-k and develop it as a homo for this banking t institution. The present nnarters of the bank have been too small and for some time larger iiuarters have been , needed. The First National is per haps the strongest hanking institution in a town Shelby's size in the south. It has a capital and surplus of a half million dollars and total resources running well over throe and a half million dollars. Mr. Blanton, the pres ident, as well as the entire personnel of the institution, are forward looking busings men who see a great future for the bank and for Shelby and Clev eland county. President Blanton is a wide-awake business man who knows the banking business from A to Z and has pained a reputation far and wide for having built an institution with three and a half million dollars in to tal resources in a town the size of Shelby. The Miller block was bought abou three years ago hy Chas. C en1 George Blanton and Avery W. Me Murry for $00,000 from A, C. M'Hef. (V C. Blanton first owned one-hal' Mlr C,enrP Blanton and A, W. Mr Murry owned one-fourth each. Late C. C. Blanton purchased Georo" Blanton'a one-fourth interest, levin Hm owner of three-fourths with A W. McMurry one-fourth owner. Just what space the new buildif will cover has not been decided. Of f'r'a's of the First National have bee visiting some of the modern bankin homes in the Carolinas getting idee on construction and architects hav nrtn ro suited, bnt it will be some time before the details of the plarr are worked out. Mr. Blanton, sat" however, thf the construction of ihr new six-story banking and oflic building will be commenced sometinr next year.
