Plus some of the services and tips to help business keep their profits.
Tips about counterfeit money and services the bank can offer to monitor the account when business owners are to busy to check it daily.”

The rear of the main floor is home to unique art exhibits, often coupled with openings and closings held in part downstairs in the “speakeasy” that was recently renamed to honor former building owner Neva Bright, a long-time area educator and activist.
The speakeasy has become the local “cocktail attire” event location, accompanied by jazz and fresh faces in the local music scene. Here’s a link to the current event (Dec., 2019)

Frank M. Booth, Inc.
222 3rd St, Marysville
7:30am: Coffee and Goodies
8am-9am: Business Success Stories
Frank M. Booth is one of Marysville’s oldest continuously operating businesses, and has roots in Frank M. Booth’s earlier business with Joseph Herboth, which traces back to its 1912 rental of “the old shop of Amos Fisher on C Street near Third, Marysville, Cal., and will fit it up as a tinning and plumbing shop,” as noted in the May 3, 1912 edition of The Metal Worker, Plumber, and Steam Fitter, Volume 77.
The company now has its fifth generation of Booth family members working in the brick building that’s been the company’s home for decades. The company has been a majority Employee Stock Owned Plan company since 2007.
The company website tracks Frank M. Booth, Inc’s growth into multiple segments that cover “the entire mechanical spectrum of work. Engineering, Design, Fabrication, Plumbing, Piping, Air Distribution, Building Automation Systems, Service and Architectural Sheet Metal.”
As the the Booth company grew, it has expanded its facilities over time—including offices in several parts of California. But the headquarters and much of the fabrication is still done in Marysville. Facilities now occupy several blocks south of the main office on Third Street.
When a fire destroyed the Traveler’s Hotel and a bar next door, and damaged the Booth office building, the Booth firm acquired the former hotel and bar property, and turned it into a park at Third and C Streets.
It has contributed to the Yuba-Sutter community in other ways, and continues to do so.
April, 2020 and Beyond are being booked now.
