¥ Always Speak To A COW
As You Would To a L.ady
The above heading came to our atten
tion and it suggested a rule of ours wh ch
we require our office force to observe,
3 that is, “Treat the humblest and poorest
person as courteously as you would our
: largest depositors.”
These poor people are depositing their
meager sums along-side the large sums of
wealthy people and the largest of depvs
its and, we believe, they are getting the
most courteous attention here.
Our deposits have reached and range
around ONE-HALF MILLION DOLLARS
and this is proof that we please.
