Both floors have been completely remodeled and modernized, ac cording to Pinckney N. Abrams, secretary-treasurer of the State B&L. A homey atmosphpere is en countered in the air-conditioned lobby of the lending institution, with wails painted in hues of sand and flamingo, off-white draw draperies at the windows, office furniture of walnut and counters of pink marble. The walls of the private conference room and the office of Mr. Abrams are paneled with walnut and all trims and furniture are of matching mater ial.
