by the following story, whicli one seeds- 

 man told regarding another: 



"A seedsman, whom we will call 

 Hrown, operated for a good many years a 

 store in a fair-sized community. 



"He was of the type that concentrates 

 on what he is doing and doesn't use up 

 energy on 'side lines.' He avoided so- 

 cial activities. He hadn 't married and 

 so there was nothing to prevent his hav- 

 ing his way in this resj>ect. I merely 

 mention this so you will understand why, 

 although this fellow Brown had a bank 

 account and had to go to the bank fre- 

 quently, he jfractically never came into 

 personal contact with the officers of the 

 bank and knew nothing about them or 

 their activities. 



"When the slump came, this fellow 

 lii own got into a certain amount of trou- 

 ble, like a good many other seedsmen 

 in this country. He had stocked up and 

 the kind of jieople that were his cus- 

 tomers were among the first to feel the 

 effects of the slump. As a result, Mr. 

 Hrown was .stuck with one of the big 

 gest stocks of goods he had ever laid 

 in; he had bills facing him that had to 

 be paid if he was going to go on doing 

 business; and he was forced to dip into 

 his own i)ersonal i)riiicipal for his run- 

 ning expenses. 



"Weil, 1 told you lie hadn't met the 

 l>ankers of the town — didn 't know them, 

 hadn't talked to them or about them 

 and so you can understand that it never 

 occurred to him to go to them. He 

 went, instead, to the few close friends 

 that he had, in the eflfort to borrow

"Well, the sum and substance of it all 

 wiis this: Running expenses forced him 

 to a jioint where, the next check he drew 

 on his bank would reduce his deposit be 

 low the minimum limit. Knowing what 

 tli;it limit was, and with the sole idea ot 

 getting sjiecial permission to draw below 

 it. he went to his bank. Instead of go 

 ing to the president, he went to the pay 

 ing teller. Naturally, the latter wa- 

 without authority, and referred him ti 

 the president. 



"Brown was in this way forced t" 

 meet the president. In the course of hi- 

 plea for 'leniency' he was also forced 

 for the first time in his business career 

 to lay his cards on the table and de 

 scribe his full circumstances from A tc 

 Izzard to somebody else. The presiden;
