BANKER scHuETTE OF MANITO-
VOC WOULD LESSEN ERRORS.
COLOR SCHEME REMEDY
Currency Raiser Would Be Thwarted
and Dishonest Banker as Well as
Business Men Would be Benefited
He Says-AIso Proposes Uniformly
Tinted Stationery.

Manitowoc, Wis, Oct. 11.-Bankers
everywhere are interested in the sug-
gestion to be offered to the National
Bankers association by John
Schuette, president of the Savings
bank of this city, regarding a new
color system for checks and currency.
the subject will be taken up at the as
ISOLATION meeting at Washington, d.
c., this week. Mr.. Schuettes plan is
that each denomination of currency
should have a distinct color and he be-
lieves that such a system would faci-
litate the handling of money, especial
ly for bankers.
Mr.. Schuette suggests that the 81
bill be given ground work of dark
drab tint; the So, a brown tint; the
SIS, a green; the $40, blue; the $40,
yellow; the $50, pink, and the 500
and over, white. He says:
''We can readily see that such diff
ferent colorS would greatly facilitate
the sorting of bills, and at the same
time be a guard against errors. Only
by superficial look we would know
the value Of bill The only objec-
ton I can see to such plan would
be, that when a banker is, going to
make display in a bank rum, with
stack of money on his counter, he can
not deceive his depositors with lot
of 81 and 81 packages, but as banker
should not be tempted to deceive, this
even may improve bis morals; and
am just reminded, there will be no OBJ
lection at all, after the depositors are
insured, when bank runs will no
longer be known.
Stationery Needs Adjustment.
$50 much on bank notes-now as to
bank stationery. l would have the
size of note heads, of THE usual size,
six by ten, letter head, nine by eleven.
These are the best sizes, fitting all or
binary envelopes. Each bank might
have it's letter heads in a special tint
which would make it easier of detec-
ton when a particular letter was
wanted, but this would not be so very
important.
81 would have all checks 3 by 8
inches, white tinted; bills receivable,
31I by s, yellow tinted; receipts, 31a
by S. slate tinted.
How much we do spend in labor or
brain saying appliances. Why then
not adopt a standard rule, by which
we can gain an enormous saving, and
relieve our optics from a strain, and
especially when we have this all
without a penny extra expense
The only thing necessary, to- accom-
plish all this, is to unite and to follow
standard agreed upon. This applies
to our bank stationery, and as to the
bank notes or currency, little con
certed action of our bankers, and
finally petition to congress, and
speedy realization of this plan can be
expected"
