For caper sauce mix together over
the fire two tablepoonsfuls OF -four
and one tablespoonful and half of
butter Add slowly a pint OF veal
stock, stirring continually. Season
with half a tablespoonful of salt and
a saltspoonful of pepper. Reduce the
sauce by cooking it to half its original
quantity. Add two tablespoonfuls OF

about two minutes. Dilute an egg
yolk with half gill of cream. Add
this to the sauce and stir the whole
for a moment or two. Then pour In

In the banking business there
are three things that appeal to
the public. These are: Solvency.
Courtesy and Secrecy.
SOLVENCY, that the patrons
may know that their money on
deposit is safe.
COURTESY, that they may
be assured of kind and prompt
attention, and
SECRECY that they may feel
that their relations with the bank
are confidential. All three things
this bank guarantees.
