Every body doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said a cashier! 1T is q
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. As
q matter Of fact, nine cashiers out Of
every ten try to get rid Of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
1t. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal Of money. It is
the easiest thing In the world to make
mistakes with new bills when In .
hurry to relieve long line Of waiting

the new bills during hours when there
Is no rush. I'd rather pay out mil
