BOZ SAYS A
MOUTHFUL

The banking situation in ST! Johns
just now is annoying, nay it is ex-
tremely embarrassing. We have banks
plenty. Banks to lend, banks to
lease, banks to sell, banks to give
away, banks to mortgage and other
wise pledge. We have large banks,
small banks, savings banks, CONNER
cial banks. In short we have any
kind of an old bank you can mention.
Yet with all this banking convenience
cannot draw or withdraw, check or
recheek, get nor forget my lifetime
savings. Requests, pleadings, en-
treaties, prayers, gunpowder, dyna-
mite, INT and each assisted and for
titled by the persuasion of meat axe
are equally unavailing to draw there
from my accumulations for old age
($130).
