    Bank's Tobacco Display Stimulates New Business

    July 2 — A new departure in displays by a bank has stimulated so much interest among its customers and the general public that the bank has decided to continue with similar ones.

    James Brooks, president, Atlantic Bank of New York says the windows displaying Greek foods in recent weeks in connection with Greece’s exhibit at the U.S. World Trade Fair created so much favorable comment that the company displayed a similar window devoted to Greek tobacco.

    The Atlantic Bank is the outgrowth of a merger four years ago of the Hellenic Bank & Trust Co. and the Bank of Athens Trust Co.
