CT them We're sergeants or captains.
The chief duty Of these men is to
watch faces and warn the tellers of
men they suspect. Most of them ara
familiar with the faces Of the old
crooks and are able to pick out the
new crooks almost instantly.
The knowledge of faces that some
OF these ioormen possess Is remark
able. A story is told OF George III.

been the doorman of the First Ma.

vas sh~re with his greeting. Good
morning Mr. Farr," as though the
man had been away for but week.
There are probably ten thousand
men who in the course Of a decade
deal with the First National. Hewitt
knows every one of them.
There Is another duty that these
aoogmen perform. Often during the
course Of the day one Of the clerks Is /
sent out with a large sum OF money
to another bank, The doorman al |
ways accompanies him to see that ais
progress through the crowded streets
Is not interrupted by some crook
who Nnows the value of the roll the
clerk carries with him.
The oldest bank doorman in New
York is George H. Hewitt of the
FIRST National Bank. In the old
DAYS the police force stationed men
at man" of the larger banks. Hewitt
was one of these men. He has been
there ever since, now more than thir-
ty-9ne years. His partner John Budd,
has been in the employ of the bank
for six years and before that was on
the police force for many years.
