“Stocking Room” for Banks.

Has your bank a stocking room? The Security bank of Oakland, Cal., couldn’t sell Liberty bonds without theirs. Here is how it works: Mrs. Oaklander enters. “I want to buy a Liberty bond, pledse.” “All right; sign here,” says the pleasant bank clerk. After this the good woman hesitates, blushes. She makes wavering passes and then looks around with a hunting and hunted look. The pleasant bank clerk knows the symptoms and politely inquires: “Would you like to use the stocking room?” * Mrs. Oaklander retires to the little side room and makes a run on “the first national bank.” .
