“This Is Where Sam Passed Out the Coins”
10-12-2021
Notes
This poor print has been faded, splattered, scratched and smudged in the past 100 years, but I still recognize this as the interior of the First National Bank. We’ve seen it once before.
I don’t know who Sam was or why he was passing out coins, but free money would certainly be good marketing for a bank.

If I recall correctly, the First National Bank looked similar to this in the mid 1960’s, when I was exchanging coins to find silver instead of the new clad ones.

Is that an elevator on the left? If so, is it still there?
