Hello Bric:
I don’t believe we have met, but look forward to doing so. Meantime, I wanted to let you know that as a fellow
commercial property owner in the mid-town section of downtown Carmel, I am hopeful that the officials interpreting
our local signage ordinances will give very serious consideration to supporting the request of Mike Petrie and his team at
Merchants Bank and Merchant Capital in their quest to establish some modest brand imagery at their newest office
building location. Mike has been a terrific corporate citizen and has voted with his feet and pocketbook to locate a very
significant number of employees down to this section of downtown which continues to grow, evolve, fill-in and
beautify. The concentration of these office employees is vital to support the businesses throughout this
area. Merchants has made a very significant investment in their branding and corporate image and the “M” that
connotes their brand is both understated and attractive and would not distract from the aesthetic of this area. To the
contrary in my way of thinking, it is a statement of support, a reminder of their commitment and so forth.
Please, if you would be so kind, pass along my sentiments to the important people with influence over this decision-
making. Thank you. And, should you have any questions of me or require more information to support this effort,
please let me know.
Regards,
David Stirsman
