Schaller: We’re aware of your four, present aspirations; they’re actually quite common: (1) You want to retro-fit a gravity-modifying (flight) system into your Oldsmobile -- allowing you to work in a large city, then rapidly traveling back to your (2) new home in a far away small town when the quitting-whistles blow. Yet, this new abode must be (3) a two-story, antique bank building, constructed in 1895, and one that (4) still has the original, highly ornate vault in perfect working order, right? Your searches have nearly ended. Scott G. Currie – 3rd-generation president of the State Bank of Schaller (whose building is adjacent to the old-fashioned structure, shown) and controller of the historic property – alluded that the unique 19th-century bank “could be” for sale and to the possibility of its zoning as a residence. Mr. Currie, however, is unaware of any novel techniques employable to make your car fly. Schaller: Even the sidewalks of Schaller are appealing. Schaller: Falls of the Theusseret (Swizerland) Schaller: After a fresh purchase of store-bought candy from “Hometown Foods,” two schoolboys head off.
