$4,000 IN CHECKS ARE LOST
On Way From st. Georges to Fed
eraI Reserve Bank, Philadelphia

The st. Georges Trust Co. staff
last week completed ten days of
overtime work spent in correcting
the trouble caused when $4,000 in
checks went A. w. 0. l.. enroute
to the Federal Reserve Bank at
Philadelphia. Both the bank and
the check writers were fully pro-
tected by insurance against loss of
the checks while in transit, but
nevertheless the complicated task
of tracing down each depositor, and
through him, each check writer,
had to be completed. Part of the
complexity of the job was due to
the fact that many of the checks
were of foreign out-of-state
origin. As fast as each issuer of
the checks could be traced, he was
requested by the bank to stop pay
ment on it and make out a dupli-
cate. Nearly $4,000 worth of the
paper slips were issued to and de-
posted by the Rudnick Livestock
Sales Co., of Middletown. Many
of these checks were made out by
residents from the southern tip of
the state and New Jersey. Even
in the big boom days" sighed one
weary bank employee as the job
was finished, Wall Street was new
