BOWE ROUGH AND CUT STONE 541 BROAD STREET AUGUSTA, - GEORGIA THE SPLENDID NEW BANK AND CEFICE 0 New Irish American Bank Building ONE OF AUGUSTA’S LEADING FINANCIAL IN STITUTIONS. The Irish American Bank has made a splendid re cord here in Augusta, and its new home and bank building is a fitting setting for one of Augusta’s most progressive and representative financial institutions. In many ways the growth of this Bank is typical of the new spirit that Augusta is showing in all lines ot business enterprise. GROWTH OF THE IRISH AMERICAN BANK. A comparative statement of the deposits of this Bank from the date of opening, April 10th, 1899, are as follows: April 10th, 1899 $ 2,515 32 1901 112,389 15 1903 200,000 00 1905 223,773 69 1907 .. 301,146 70 1909 325,189 64 The capital of the Irish American Bank at the be ginning of business on April 10th, 1899, was $15,000. This capital has been increased to $30,000, with a sur plus of $20,000, which is the Bank’s showing and standing on April 10th, 1909. This increase in capital was authorized January Ist, 1908. A SPLENDID SHOWING WITH A DIVIDEND OF 100 PER CENT. On January Ist, 1908, the Irish American Bank de ' clared a dividend to its stockholders of record of 100 per cent.., which is probably the best shewing of its kind that has been made by any of the Augusta banks in recent years. OFFICERS OF THE IRISH AMERICAN BANK. The executive officers of the Irish-American Bank are: Captain P. Armstrong, President; Mr. H. 11. Stafford, Vice-President, Mr. J. P. Armstrong, Cashier. The Board of Directors, in addition to the officers, in cludes (’apt. P. 11. Rice, John W. Walker, M. J. Mc- Auliffe, L. J. Williams, J. M. Smith and John Sancken —all of whom are representative and progressive cit izens interested largely in the business and progress of Augusta in the various lines of business. IRISH AMERICAN BANK DIRECTORY MR. L. F. GOODRICH, Architect. The designing of fills very mod ern and at the same time extremely artlsfie bank building, was perfected entirely by Mr. L. F. Goodrich. This building now stands as another monu ment to the unauestloned architectur al ability of Mr. Goodrich, and is also quite an addition to the appear ance of Augusta's main business street. MR. R. G. BARINOWSKI, Decorative Painter. Mr Bartnowski, in charge of the interior decorations, has shown splen did results in the harmonizing of the walls with the Cathedral glass sky lights, and in perfect accord with the massively handsome marble and brass interior work. Unquestionably a most decided ar tistic talent is required in the selec tion of tones for interior decorations, to bring the entire effect into one harmonious whole. Irish American,Bank — Patrick Armstrong, President.. IT. H. Stafford, Vice- President. J. P. Armstrong, Cashier. F. 11. Austin, Teller. F. H. Boatwright, Bookkeeper. J. H. McXINZIE’S SONS, Contractors. Necessarily the correct carrying out of the architects ideas in even the simplest cottage, depends upon the ability of the contractors in charge of the work. How much more responsibility rests upon the con tractors. when the designs call for a very large buildipg originated in an other's brain, and yet a mental pic ture of what .the desiener intended, must be striven for, and obtained at ali costs. And so, not a little of the credit \ should be given to ,1. H. McKenzie's Sons, for the construction of this magnificent building. New Irtish A meric $ wp —i im ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■ , Board of Directors— P.

The hardware alone for this hank building w-ns no small Item, and con tract for this work was given to, and most satisfactorily filled, by Bowen Bros., of Augusta. ' This is one of the most enterpris ing and progressive firms in Augusta, and their friends are numbered by the thousands. Bowen Bros, have in stock one of the most complete and up-to-date line of carpenters' and machinists' fine tools ever shown, and they also handle a most modern line of sport ing goods, enameled cooking utensils, galvanized ware, etc., and their ever increasing business testifies to the satisfaction of customers.

BOWE, Stone Contractor. Known throughout the entire South, it is small wonder that the responsi ble stone contract for the Irlsh-Amer ican Bank building was assigned to Mr. Bowe. Mr. Bowe has made Augusta his home and the home of his large busi ness for many years, but his terri tory Is not confined by the city lim its by any means. In fact, Mr. Bowe, while doing a tremendous city buei nes, covers a hundred fold the terri tory permitted by Augusta’s business area, and practically every S uthern state has been the gainer by the re sults of Mr. Bowe's work THE AUC
