The new bank will do a general
banking business and, at the same
time, will supply a specific need. As
its name implies, it will be devoted
particularly to commercial travelers
and wage earners. In this respect it
is somewhat of an innovation, being
among the first, if not indeed the first
cashier, and Mr. M. C. Johnson, as
sistant cashier.
The fine furniture and marble wain

A New Institution Just Started—Watch Them Grow
The opening of the Travelers Bank
and Trust Company marked a dis
tinctive event in Atlanta’s business
history. Its establishment is amply
warranted by the needs of the time
and, from the very outset, it has en

the
to
substantial banking enterprises as
does Atlanta. It is said, indeed, that
in proportion to its volume of business
and its population, the banking capi
tal of this city is comparatively small.
There was a manifest demand for
such an institution as the Travelers

institution of its kind in this section.
Thousands of traveling men and
wage earners make their homes in At
lanta. This is a significant fact. They
represent in a very large measure the
motive power of our commerce. Their
deposits and savings and investments
are an important part of the city’s and
the state’s financial activity. It is
eminently proper that there should be
a bank devoted especially to their
needs and interests.
The Travelers Bank and Trust Com
pany, however, will by no means be
confined to business of this character.
Its solidity will appeal to the public
at large. Its stockholders and direc
tors and officials represent the most
stable and progressive element of At
lanta’s business leadership. How true
this is the mere naming over of its
officers will abundantly show. Mr. E.
L. Adams is president; Messrs. W. S.
Lounsbury and John F. Cone, vice-
presidents; Mr. Grover Megahee,

The building occupied by the new
bank at 56 Peachtree street, has been
completely remodeled and ornate plate
glass front being constructed and the
interior being built to meet the needs
of a financial institution.
The points emphasized by the Trav
elers Bank and Trust Company are
liberality in their dealings with cus
tomers, courteous and efficient atten
tion to all matters affecting their ac
counts and the assurance of safety,
which a consistent and conservative
management insures.
AUTOMATIC CHANGE OF
FAITH.
The group of delegates to the Pan-
Presbyterian Conference were out see
ing the town, and without noticing the
danger sign went out on a footbridge
across a stream. Soon their pleasure
in the view was Interrupted by a burly
keeper who in angry tones ordered
them ashore.
“Why, that is all right,’’ said one of
the number; “we are Pan-Presbyteri-
ans.’’
"I don’t care,’’ said the man, “if you
are Pan-Presbyterians or Pot-Presby-
terians, you’ll all be Baptists in five
minutes If you don’t get oft o’ that
bridge.”
WHERE THE CAT WAS.
JOHN F. CONE, Vice-President.
Travelers Bank and Trust Company.
“What are the passengers looking
out of the window for?” asked a nerv
ous lady passenger on the train as the
conductor came through.
“We ran over a cat, madam,” said
the conductor.
“Was the cat on the track?” she
next asked.
“Oh, no, ma’am,” assured the con
ductor. “The locomotive chased her
up an alley.”
