A South Side housewife, who, following
the custom of her parents, had always
kept her money in a safety deposit vault
previous to her marriage, is gradually
learning some things about banking GUS
toms, and the experience is fraught with
much vexation. Her husband pointed out
to her the advantages of keeping the fam

get dusty in a deposit vault, and after he
had made some figures she was impressed
with the idea and transferred the account.
The next week she had bill to pay and
drifted bIithely over to the bank after doing
a days shopping to draw out $25. She
found the massive doors shut and card
