az Bank Street, Newark. William Girth
an inventor. suffering from aphasia
, strove to make both ends meet, totally
ignorant of the fact that in the Fidelity
Trust Company, less than a half block
away, there was $4,000 to his credit.
For eight years the books of the
Fidelity Trust Company carried the
name and the account of William Girth.
Twice year the semi-annual divi-
dends were added to this account
against which no one ever wrote
check. Regularly the bank sent post
card announcement Of the amount on
deposit. Regularly the card came back.
