BANKING BY I IM FTABLE
A bank has been opened in a rail
road depot at New Rochelle, N. Y..
and it is at least a novel idea. The
country has always wanted to sec a
demonstration of how mongy could
be withdrawn or deposited at full
gallop by a man with his arms full
of garden tools and his coat half of?
Elmer Twitchell wants to know If
the depot banks runs on eastern
standnrd or daylight saving time.
And there is sure to be the con
fused commuter who Isn't certain
whether he was to deposit $H Just
before the 7:55 a. m. or deposit 7:55
Just before the $8 pulled in.
