Setirlcal Banking Rules.

The following rules are recommended
to the attention Of those who do bust
ness at banks. BY not following them,
they will be the means of saving a
great deal of time and annoyance:
If you have any business with a
bank, put it off until 3:39 o'clock, or.
if possible, a little later, as it looks
more business-like to rush in Just as
the bank is closing.
In depositing money try to get it up
side down and wrong end forem ost in
order that the teller may have little
exercise in Strengthening it out before
counting.
1t is best not to take your bank-book
with you but call another time to have
the entry made. You can thus make
two trips to the banks where one would
suffice.
If check is made payable to your
order, be careful not to endorse it be-
fore handing it to the teller but let him
return it to you and wait while you
endorse it. This helps to pass the time
and is pleasure and relief to the teller.
Never keep any record when your
note falls due then; censure the bank
officials when the note is protested.
Always Date your checks ahead, it
is never failing sign that you keep a
good balance in bank, or if you do not
wish it generally known that you are
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1902-03-13

doing good business, do not deposit
money until your check viii be in
When you make deposit, do not
use a deposit slip but mix bills and
checks indiscriminately together since
it facilitates matters hugely.
A strict observance of the foregoing
rules will make your accounts desir-
able for any bank and will make you a
general favorite with all the bank off,
