Beverly National Bank One of Oldest 
and Strongest Financial Institutions 
in This Section. 
On the front page of this issue is 
printed a picture of the Beverly National 
Bank, one vf the oldest and = strong- 
est banking institutions on the North 
Shore. 
The bank was organized in 1802—107 
years ago—and begun business in the 
old Burley building on Cabot street, now 
the home of the Beverly Historical soc- 
iety. It later moved to the Masonic 
building, and in 1882 moved to the cor- 
ner of Cabot and Thorndike streets; its 
present location. Here it occupied an 
attractive building, set in well from the 
street, until a few years ago, when its in- 
creasing business demanded larger and 
more up-to-date quarters. The structure 
pictured in this issue isa result of this 
demand. 
During its existance it has had ten 
presidents and five cashiers, a fact which 
in itself points to its stability and good 
business management. ‘The present of- 
ficers of the bank are Andrew W. Rog- 
ers, president; Jasper R. Pope, vice 
pres.; Allen H. Bennett, cashier. Mr. 
Bennett has been connected with the 
bank since 1882, and has been its cashier 
since 1893. He is one of Beverly’s 
most enterprising business men. ‘The 
directors are Joseph C. Kilham, Andrew 
W. Rogers, Jasper R. Pope, George P. 
Brown, Roland W. Boyden, Herbert 
F. Winslow, Melville Woodbury, Wal- 
ter A. Perry and Allen H. Bennett. 
The condition of the bank, according 
to the last statement made to the comp- 
troller on April 28, showed the total re- 
sources to be $1,543,064.87. The li- 
abilities included: Capital stock paid in 
$200,000; surplus fund $100,000; un- 
divided profits, $89,977; individual de- 
posits subject to check, $959,575, etc. 
We print the above facts at this time 
because we know that many of our sub- 
scribers now moving to the North Shore 
are looking for an institution where they 
may do their banking during the sum- 
mer months. The many North Shore 
summer residents who keep accounts 
with the bank the year around testify 
strongly to the confidence which these 
people have in the institution. 
The bank offers to the public in addi- 
tion to its financial strength, the long 
years of experience of its officers, direc- 
tors and employees, which, combined 
with its up-to-date facilities, would make 
ita wisely chosen depositary for your 
funds, 
‘out and remodelled.

The building outlook for Manchester 
the present year looks good at present. 
Plans are out for a new residence for 
Philip Dexter to be built 6n his big estate 
off Forest street, and estimates are now 
being prepared. The house will be a 
large one, in fact one of the finest to 
adorn any of the hills along the North 
Shore. ‘The grounds surrounding the 
house will be beautified, and a long 
avenue will be constructed. ‘This part 
of the work has already been started. 
In this vicinity also work has already 
been started on a summer home for A. 
Lithgow Devens. Roberts & Hoare, the 
Manchester contractors, will build the 
house. 
Henry Clay Pierce is having extensive 
changes and alterations made to his es- 
tate at ‘‘ Rock Cove,’’ Pride’s Crossing. 
The house is to be all changed over, the 
inside of the mansion being literally torn 
Six new roomsare 
to be built, including a new dining room 
and a master’schamber. New windows 
are to be put in throughout. ‘The ser- 
vant’s quarters will be enlarged. A con- 
crete piazza will be built on the front 
portion of the house and a new tile roof 
will take the place of the present one. 
These are a few of the many changes to 
be made. It is estimated that the work 
will be carried over for eight or nine 
months, and that the approximate cost 
will be in the vicinity of $50,000. Pub- 
licover Bros. of Beverly Farms are the 
contractors. 
Extensive improvements will be made 
to the grounds also. “The driveways and 
terrace wall will be rebuilt. D. Line- 
han & Son are the contractors for this 
part of the work. 
The avenue and “‘turn around’’ at the 
Eben Richard’s house on the same es- 
tate are being changed over somewhat 
also, D. Linehan & Son being the con- 
tractors. :

structed by Mr. Crafts at the Greeley

ter.
