For instance, Phlladelphias loyal hearted bust

ing their loose change for relief to notice the
needs of the laborng man-so that he may be on
the job every day. The laboring who works
at Hog Island and lives in Philadelphia usually
gets up at A. 80 A. NJ. and arrives again in the city
between and P. NJ. He needs clothing, tools,
banks to deposit his money in, repairs to his cloth
ing and the usual things that make the business
man smile. All the important business houses
close up at about in the afternoon and open
about or in the morning.
There are night banks where they will take in
money on savings account-but that does not
help the fellow who is away from home and wants
to deposit his wages for personal protection and
then buy cashiers checks to pay his bills back
home and send his wife her allowance. After 3
