It is when there is a deviation from those principles that trouble arises. The one never failing guide to good banking is that the deposl. tor's interests come FIRST. That Is, the bank is custodian of a depositor's money and the SAFETY of that money is his major responsibility. Remember that the next time yon hear a fellow grumbling that the banks keep all the money tied up and won't lend it as freely as he thinks they should.
