Prom a' -simple 'business trans
action that wai enacted on our busy
streets tbe mural ' below is drawn.
'A young man saw anopportunity
to make a turn in real estate, where
by, iitipiirchiwiiig a tract -of land
and sejmg of a parr, he could
invest what money 'be had sav
up and malic. a .profit to go towar
the purchase of the home.
But he needed five hundred dol
lars to make the deal.
He went to the ea shier of an At
lan hi bank and asked if he could
Ret, the money. The enshi.-r arid
yes, filled out o b'ank note, mark
ed the discount in pencil .and told
him lo take itto.t'he paying teller
It took only two minutes to get
the money.
1 he young man made the. deal
paid the note when due, and so far
as the business w.irld is concerned
Ihe incident closed.
But here is what tbe young man
said to his friend, to whom he re
lated the occurence:
"I thought Ilio would ask for an
indorn'T. I had planned to go and
find one. Never thought the bank
would shell out tne monev on my
paper. I was astounded, because
I di id never borrowed any money
before, and didn't know I hud any
cro.lit."
:Birt that, bank cashier knew the
young -wan better than 'the young
man thought. Tbe yout.g man was
8 ler and industri i.s. lie did not
lounge around ool rooms and
saloons. He looked at the cashier
with clear even .and teld tho truth.
The cashier bunked on the moral
rink, and made no mistake.
The lesson is obvious.
Thousands of dolla-rs await legit
imate in vestment. Hanks are ready
and willing to accommodate you if
you have capacity and character.
But they are watching you, young
man, and he sure they know to
whom they extend such ready and
valuable aid.
