X.

The new bank will have the appearante of any modern buiness office and money transactions will be carried on at desks or over counters unprotected by forbidding screens. New York financiers have reached the conclusion that bank cages never p: .‘vente drobberies," savs the Woman's Home Companion, i nannouncing the revolutionary action in banking establishments, "but such fixtures have always made the depositor or borrower feel more like a suspicious character than a welcome customer. Banks have Hied so hard to wear an aspect of saftety that they have made •hemselves grim and cold. The abolishment of cages is one of a number of instances of the tendency to humanize the nation's business.” o WANTED — Some lose hay. Ernst Schlickman at Breinet Feed yard or Phone 22, 296-3tx
