Banks on tha Lookout.
A merchant Jn a large city allowed
Ills name to be posted in his club three
times for nonpayment of dues. A few
days after the last posting he applied
to his bank for a loan. Wheu the np

man?that newest of a bank's Impor

The latest entry was one typewritten

refused. The merchant was either
carelcss. near broke or unappreclatlve
of his credit standing. Any of these
reasons looked bad to the banker.
