The subject is a company rather than a place or scene: the Bankers Automatic Receiving Teller Co., whose name suggests a mechanical device for taking deposits at a bank without a conventional teller window. Its dating to the years between 1918 and 1928 places it in a period when banks were experimenting with new equipment to speed routine transactions. The National Photo Company, which made commercial and documentary pictures in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, produced the negative. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coating.
