sundry signs lining the high walls.
In two of (hem, one framed.
patrons were warned to count
their money before they left tlu
bank.
In order to keep from being
"slickered" by some of those sus
pected of being over-ambitious, tho
owner of tho bank erected the
following warning:
"Wo will not recognize any claim
for coin short in packages, unless
examined before leaving tho coun
ter." Another sign told about
gold dust being shipped to the
Atlantic stales and Insured, thru
the courtesy of the Meek man bank
