“ Papa," asked little five-year-old. “how do you open a bank account?
The banks are always asking you to open an account."
Son, th a t's the easiest question to answ er th a t you have asked in
a long tim e. By opening au account they mean leaving some money
with them. You ju st walk up to the window and tell the man you w ant
to leave so much money. There is little said about the "opening."
He tak es your money and gives you a receipt, and a cheek book and
asks no questions. You have then opened a bank account. Now to
open an account at the store—-well, th a t's different they always ask
some questions.
