This is a scrapbook used by a bank formerly known as the Lawrence Savings Bank to collect local bank reports from banks such as Arlington National National Bank, Bay State National Bank, Lawrence National Bank, Merchants National Bank and Pacific National Bank. The most interesting aspect of this book, however, is that the book itself is actually a Motts Plumbing Company catalogue that the bankers repurposed to carry these bank reports. Each report states the name of the bank, their collective assets and yearly revenue, an a paragraph length report of the banks physical conditions, all pasted on top of pages depicting urinals and bathtubs from the early 1900s.
