It was Security Pacific National Bank when I worked there, but we had equipment that still said "Security Trust & Savings Bank" on it, and I once found in the supply room a box of 100 pen nibs! I guess pen nibs could be noir. . . okay, no.
We had a lot of elderly customers who had been there for decades. I got a real taste of the old Hollywood from talking to them.
