THE OKONITE COMPANY The OKONITE COMPANY was established in 1878. A pioneer in the electrical wire and cable business, it first made insulated wire for SAMUEL B. MORSE, inventor of the telegraph. Today OKONITE PLANTS produce more than 5000 different prod- ucts. They range from wires the size of a human hair to cables as large as five inches in diameter. The Company is a leader in supplying wire and cable used by the power and light companies to carry electricity to huge cities and industrial plants. It also produces cables that are used to supply power to run trains and signal systems for railroads, shovels and drilling equpment for mines, and motors for large ships and sub- marines. Telephones, heat and light and electrical appliances — these are a few household items requiring products manufactured by OKONITE. The nation's demands for electric power are expected to triple by 1985. As a result of its modernization and growth programs, its research activities and development of a skilled work force. THE OKONITE COMPANY is prepared to supply the wire and cable need- ed to meet the challenge. BILL SAHLER of SAHLER'S CONTRACTING and BUILDING CORPORATION and the Corporation s devoted secretary. MRS.

The afternoon we chose for the pictures at the Bank, happened to be the one chosen by MRS. GLADYS BRENTNALL for her departure for Florida. It was a bitterly cold day and we envied her! Fortun- ately for us, MRS. RITA GANNON was available, and we snapped a picture of her as she was explaining to PRISCILLA and LIZ the advantages of Traveler’s Checks for their coming trip to Italy. In the picture at the right, outside the picturesque Bank, are PRISCILLA. LIZ. COLLEEN and BETSY. In the picture below. KATHY WALZ and MARIBETH McCORMICK are making deposits to the Senior Accounts.
