History of the First Bank Of Ligonier. -

Mier State Bank began with the business transactions of Solomon Mier about the year 1856 when the people, having gained contidence in the young man, began to leave their surplus with him at his store in Ligonier and received in réturn certificates of deposit. ° In ‘the latter part of the6o’s Sol Mier entered more extensively into banking and hisplace of business became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier. On January 1 1500, the men who are now the officials of the present institution associated themselves with the late Solomon Mier and the Banking House of Sol Mier became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier Company. On .June 15 1905, The Banking House of Sol Mier Company qualified under the State law and became Mier Stateßank, thereby being the OLDEST BANK in Ligonier, the LARGEST BANK in Ligonier and the FIRST STATE BANK in Ligonier. : The reasons are evident as the Mier State Bank has always been known as the “Old Reliable” and the “Bank of Secrecy” where no outsider knows your business. The standing and responsibility of this old institution are the very highest and the depositors have always known that their business was not alone safe with the Mier State Bank, but that business entrusted to its care was unknown to the public, and the results are that the Mier State Bank has depositors in .all parts of the state, who do their banking by mail. There are names on the Bank’s books today that were on the books 50 years ago. Children’s children continue to bank with the “Old Reliable.” If not a customer why not join our large family and become one of us? We will extend to you all the courtesies and you can always get any accommodations you might need from the Mier State Bank,

.CAVE DWELLERS OF AMERICA

Europe Is by No Means the Exclusive s ~ Holder of Prehistoric ? Sl Dwellings. :

: The American cave dwellers were /not ape men, nor even big-jawed, low.browed meat eaters, like the alleged -associates of the famous, albeit an.onymous, owner of the “Neanderthal ‘skull’ Corn and squash seeds, three ‘kinds of gourds, the stone wetate, and the slender bones of birds tell of the Jargely vegetable diet of these prime‘val cave dwellers. A A Byidehces of religious worship ‘abound—little estufas, with .places for 'the sacred fire among the dwellings, and large ones in the open canyon :where circles of communal huts, in‘close. the central floor, hardened by the feet of thousands of dancers. . Here, still unexplored, are hundreds ‘of tiny cavern houses burrowed in cliffs 500 to 600 feet high, colored in maroon, ochre, sober gray and gypsum white—hues that in the sunset glow in furnace reds and royal pur ple and deep lavender. _ ' Not far away at Casa Grande, a race of tall men lived in larger caves and left their mummified dead to tell jof -six-foot braves and broad-hipped women, while at Frijoles the bodies ‘dium height, with here and there a swathed in woven cloths were of metaller warrior. Reservoirs to impound iwater for siege or drought; ditches for jrrigation; pictographs that are a melange of bird and reptile, beasts and ‘weird imitations of the human form -divine; pottery in shards and unbroken; splintered bows and feath. “erless arrows; fiber-soled sandals, and v)blankets thickened with rabbit fur are found in some of these ancient cavern ‘houses.—National Magazine. - -
