Democratic Sentinel, Volume 14, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 June 1890 — He Also Had Rules. [ARTICLE]

He Also Had Rules.

He had opened a rest urant in Buffalo, and after two or three weeks he called at a bank to get the cash on a small check received from some one in Philadelphia. “Have to be identified, sir," said the teller as he shoved it back. “But I am Blank of the new restaurant around the corner." “Must be identified.” “This is payable to me or order, and I've indorsed it," protested the restaurateur. “Can’t help it sir. Rules of the bank.” The man went out and brought some one back to identify him, and the money was handed over. Three days later the teller dropped in for a lunch at the new restaurant. He had taken a seat and given his order, when the pioprietor approached him and said: “Have to be identified, sir.” “How! What?” “Have to be identified before you can get anything here, sir.” “Identified? I don’t understand you,” protested the teller. “Plain as day, sir. Rule of the house that all bank officials have to be identified. Better go out and find some responsible party who knows you.” “Hang if I do!” growled the teller, and he reached for his hat and coat and banged the door hard as he went out. — New York Sun.
