Reading, PA The Reading NB and TC Ch. # 4887 PMG 30 $10 1929 Ty 1 SN D000494A D96/37 BEP Berks County bank's 2d title. Bank officers are W.Y. Mast, Jr., Cashier and Henry K. Harrison, President. Three truly exotic layouts have been found in the BEP group that involved mixing of 8-point Copperplate Gothic and 12-point Gothic Condensed fonts within the bank name. These are the only known occurrences in the Series of 1929 where bank names were set using two different fonts. The Reading layout, and a lookalike Eureka, Nevada (11784), that were made respectively in March and May 1931, were a harbinger of the layouts used on the emergency Series of 1929 Federal Reserve bank notes of 1933-4. New York, NY Flushing NB IN (13296) had an unusual 2-font bank layout observed only on notes from this bank. The Flushing NB note is from a BEP plate made in September 1933, following a title change. You can see both titles from this bank in my NY, NY small type Set.
