The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-06-15

1t Is reported that the following suggestions
to dealers Of banks have met the hearty ap-
probation Of bank tellers in other cities, and
it may aid in obtaining greater uniformity In
bank usages to promuleate them:
!. Never put stamps on your checks before
you get to the bank, but give the teller two
cents and ask him to lick it and cancel it for
you; the teller expects to lick all the stamps,
and it is source of disappointment to him
when people insist on doing 1t themselves,
and will save him buying his lunch.
2 In depositing money, try and get it up
side down and wrong end foremost, SO that
the teller may have little exercise in straight
ening it before counting it.
g. You can generally save time when max
ing deposit BY counting your money down
to the teller, as you can nearly always count
more rapidly and correctly than he can. .saa
T. 1t is best not to take your bank
book with you, but call at another time to
have it entered You can thus make two
trips to the bank where one would answer.
\ s. It Q check IL made PAYABLE to your
order, be careful not to indorse it before
handing it to the teller, but let him return it
TO you and wait while you indorse it; this
helps pass the tune, and is Q pleasure and re-
lief TO the teller. sss fTtH sFss* tz#ast
g. 1t you make deposit of 500 and
give a check for $50. it is good thing to call
/. frequently ct the bank and ask how yonr ac-
count stands, as it impresses the officer ia
vorably with your business qualifications.
Z. A strict observance of the forego-
ing rules will make your account desirable
for any bank, and make you general favor
lite with all the bank officers.

Uneassness In FfnancfaI Circles about the
