Construction on the 2,000 square foot freestanding masoliary building began in late August , and the interior now features graphic art and bright decor -- a long way from the banks of yore. •Responsible for operatiolis at the branch is Al Pacey, who brings with him 20 years of banking ex- ,perience in Hatriston, Woodstock, Toronto, Oshawa , Hamilton, Port , Perry and Wiarton. Mr. Pacey will combine overall responsiblity for the new Lucknow and existing Ripley branches with his position as Agri-Bank manager in South Bruce and North Huron Counties. The day-to-day running of the bank will be handled by Ray Nel- son, officer-in-charge. Mr. Nel- son, who has 11 years banking ex- perience behind him , started his career at Elmira , Ontario and was previously the accountant at Kingsville and in St. Thomas. Mrs. John (Janice) Rutherford of West Wawanosh will be the branch stenographer. She comes to the Lucknow branch after .2'1/2 years with' the Ripley branch. In addition, three other positions will be filled to handle the antici- pated workload,. One of the most interesting features of the new branch is. the Agri-Bank Service, offered to area farmers. The service be- gun locally in October. features a mobile banking unit that brings an "office-on-wheels" right to the farmer's doorstep. "Agri-Bank enables us to serve the, special financial needs of farmers and the agricultural indus- try in the area more effectively," commented Mr. Pacey, who is in charge of the service. Mr. Pacey, who will spend about 80 per cent of the day on the road and dealing with on-the-farm assessments of the farmers' banking needs, says that the service has aroused 'wide- spread interest in the Luclutow area. "It enables the bank to bring such specialized.-agricultur- al banking services as Farmchek, the /Farmplan Loan program and life -insured loans for farmers right to Where the business is done -- on the farm." The public is invited to the Grand Opening of the bank on Thursday of this week. The, offic- ial ribbon cutting will takeplace at 12.15 p.m. and Santa Claus will arrive at 12.30 and will re- main' for one hour. Santa will have 'a bag full of toys and candy for the little ones as the, bank hopes to make the .Grand Opening a family affair. There will be refreshments for everyone and Christmas, tree cook- ies as well. If you're wondering what a Christmas tree cookie is, it is explained very nicely in an advertisement by the Royal' Bank on this page.
