The State Building and Loan
Association, a local organization
which has increased its assets
over two million dollars during
the past nine years, has an
nounced the complete renovation
and remodeling of the State
Building which it purchased last
year. The building, formerly
known as the Belfast building,
houses the B&L association and
the low offices of Pope and
Schumpert on the ground floor,
and the administrative offices of
the Champion Paper and Fibre
Company on the upper floor.
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. In addition to the lobby in
which the cashier, Mrs. Doris
Setzler and the asistant cash
ier, Mrs. Martha Folk work, and
the two offices mentioned above,
there is a file room, a fireproof
storage vault for important pa
pers and a large vault containing
safety lock-boxes.
The State Building and Loan

in July 1953 after having served
16 years as Newberry County

of last year. The remodeling pro
gram was begun shortly after
that time. The assets of the or
ganization as of December 31,
1947 were valued at $80,535.64.
Th'. present assets, as of May 31,
