I I
My Week"
• (By R. J. Dechman)
41 met not long ago a banker, now
retired. He had. spent the greater part
of his life,, in different branches,
mostly in the Province of Quebec. I
asked him, as I often do with ail
classes of people, for the funniest in-
cid.ent" in his business experience.
This is the one he placed first in the
list. I give you the story as closely
as I can, but 1 cannot put on paper
the fine Irish .voice of the man who
told it to me as he•imitated the tone
.of his customer on this occasion:,
"In the town, which must be name-
less, we had an accountof an Irish-
man, a small contractor who carried
a balance with us of from three to
seven hundred dollars. One day
cheque came in which wiped out his
deposit and left him with a deficit of
about $200 I phoned hina..and sug-
gested that he come in and cover up
or give us some security'. •
"'You are calling me about -my ac-
count,' he said, and every word sound-
ed as if it came from Dubin. 'How
much did you say I was over?''"
'Two hundred dollars," I answeed.
Now how much would I be hav-
ing in your institution last week?'"
"I looked it up; $550, 1 told him."
." Then did I call you up?'"
"NoWhy •sliould you?"
•." 'Then why in hell, should you' call
me up now?' "
"I was stumped: what .could I do
with a man 'like that?"
"What .happened then,"I said? "We
paid his cheque, he covert(' it in two
or three days, . /Sometimes he went
over for a few dollars. but we never
mentioned it to him. I `always felt
that his answer was worth •any risk
we took."
* *
Here is another one from the same
source:
"A Man came in one day and asked
the price of a 'safety deposit box. The
price was $5.0,0. He asked if I could
let him have it for $4.00. T said, 'No,
the bank doesn't cut the price; every-
body pays the same,' He went out
• ••
•
sorrowing:
"A few days later he came back
and -asked if we loaned money on vic•
tciry bo4d. This was during the first
great war, and, at that time, we loan-
ed up to the full value of the bonds.
He came in the next day and wanted
to borr&er $100. I made out the note,
he handed me, the bond. Imagine my
surprise when I looked at it, it was
for $10,000: I asked 'him why • he
wante4 to brow $100 when he had
a bond for $10,000. "He suggested that
be needed it; I didn't ask auy more
questions. After all he was entitled
to the loan. '
• "I forgot about i
• t; then -a feir days
later he stuck his head through the,
door and said: 'Well, it didn't cost
me $5.00 to get a safety deposit box
from you, did -it?' Ile was quite right.
We paid him three: per cent interest
and yraildpd safety for 1-114P0.,....;
gotWhat 4.P wanted for AZ9OIORttlitil#
if he bad:rented a bgg
But he didn't get the bOX," T
"No," said my banker friend, .1)4t.:fte
certainly dad get perfect Security.fOr
his bond. On the other hand We OA •
had the box and for all I known4ay
have rented it to some other
ueed-
soul. Besides, he may have Wit
little by "loaning" that money
at three per cent. He might-bi
made a. better alterhative inveattaents
Illy own opinion is that he rea1Zy
wanted to get safety for Ida bond
without paying us anything for
Was .it worth the effort?"
Will somebody please, tell another
story. Some day a beck wiBbe writ-
ten entitled "Humor in •Business." ft
may have been done already. It's
good subject.
