not know whether the charges over

TO the present time.
MIR. WYNKooPS SUGGESTION.
G.. NJ. Wynkoop. who has been IN the
banking business for many years, but
is not so old as TO have imhibed all thu
prejudlces when usually go with the
business, Is credited with having sug-
gested and carried through the plan
for an all night hank. MI. Wynkoop Is
enthusiastic over the enterprise and has
given his personal attention to every
detail, from the selection of the banks
stan TO the Interior architecture of the
part OF the building which the instltu-
ton VIII occupy. II Is not difficult to
get Mr.. Wynkoop TO talk about his
plans. He told a reporter for the Her.
aid some of the reasons for his having
cut loose from the old style OF banking.
one of the things he has learned In
his business experience IL that the resi-
deht OF New York and adjacent cities Is
getting tired of feeling that the partic.
uar bank where he keeps his money is
doing him favor In allowing him to
deposit with II. He has to plan all his
business transactions, which necessitate
tie use of cash, 10 the rules of the
bank. He hurries through the day with
the fact always before him that he
must finish up his business In time to
get his incoming cash TO the bank be-
fore 3 O'Clock. II he fails to do this he
may have to carry bundle Of bank
notes and checks around with him for
10 hours or trust to the security of his
office safe, which few business men care
70 do in these days of the resourceful
burglar.
Often when he has succeeded the day
before in closing up his deals and bank
ing his cash he Will find that some mer-
camille transaction necesstates the use
Of spot cash before 10 o'clock in the
morning. II Is useless for him 10 chafe
and worry. He can't get any money
until the bank opens its doors. Many
instances are cited where delay In get
Ting cash In hand before 10 o'clock in
the morning has resulted in the failure
or business plans ennllng the loss of a
great deal Of money.
COLLECTIONS IN AFTERNOON.
