Satirical Ranking EuleS HE following rules, used in the American National Bank, Chicago, are recommended to the attention of those who do business at all banks. They will be the means of saving a great deal of time and annoyance—by not following them: If you have any business with a bank, put it off until two o'clock, or, if it is possible, a little later, as it looks more business-like to rush in just as the bank is closing. In depositing money, try to get it upside down and wrong end foremost, so that the teller may have a little exercise in straightening it up before counting it. It is best not to take your bank book with you, but call at another time to have it entered. You can thus make two trips to the bank where one would answer. If a check is made payable to your order, be careful not to indorse it before handing it to the teller, but let him return it to wait while you indorse it; this helps to pass the time, and is a pleasure and relief to the teller. You can generally save time when making a deposit by counting your money down to the teller, as you can nearly always count more speedily and correctly than he can. When you make a deposit do not use a deposit ticket, but mix matters exceedingly. If you make a deposit of one hundred dollars, and give a check for fifty dollars, it is a good thing to call frequently at the bank and ask how your account stands, as it impresses the officers favorably with your business qualifications. Never keep any record when your notes fall due, and then if they are protested censure the bank for not giving you notice. Always date your checks ahead, it is a never-failing sign that you keep a good balance in bank, or if you do not wish it generally known that you are doing a good business, do not deposit your money until about the time you expect your check will be in. A strict observance of the foregoing rules will make your accounts desirable for any bank, and will make you a general favorite with all the bank officers.
