Good timing for new clock and sign at bank

By DONETTA GODSEY

Friday afternoon with its sunny mild temperatures and slight breezes was a perfect time for the Union State Bank to get a fashionable new accessory. The recent addition was installed by crane as USB updated their original downtown location with a new sign on the southeast corner of the building. The 28X4-foot metal fabrication and neon sign with a clock at the bottom was designed, created and installed by Miracle Signs of Wichita.

According to Mike Walker, USB senior vice president of marketing, the sign was custom designed to fit the decor of the building architecture and downtown Winfield in general.

"The design was intended not only to be functional and efficient, but also to reflect the values of an earlier time," said Walker.

Local contractors were Rob Carroll's Sandblasting and Painting Inc./Sign Solution of Arkansas City and Pike Construction.

"We enjoy bringing new signs to downtown buildings," said Janet Carroll. "This one takes colors and designs from the building and incorporates it into the sign. It's kind of retro. These kinds of things help bring a sense of pride to a community."
