What Stocktonites Were Doing 94 Years Ago
Body
The Stockton National Bank is now established in its new home. Before moving into the new location, President W. F. Hughes of the Stockton National had the building completely modernized and put in the best possible condition. All the walls, woodwork, and fixtures were newly finished, and new linoleum was placed on the floor behind the fixtures, the outside part of the floor being covered with bright vitreous tile. Following the practice in the old building, Mr. Hughes has kept his desk in the front part of the bank, where he can conveniently meet with the institution’s customers. Near his desk is the round steel burglarproof safe, where certain of the most valuable papers and records of the bank are kept. Under the capable leadership of president Hughes, the strong directorate comprises G. Yoxall, P. G. Griebel, L. L. Marshall, W. F. Hughes, and H. H. Snyder. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Snyder are active in the bank’s management and are very ably assisted by the other members of the staff: Miss Irma Renner, assistant cashier; Miss Margaret Fate, stenographer; and James Toothaker, bookkeeper.
