the bank and go all over thciii, in this 

 way finding; out just what Brown 's sales 

 had averaf^od over the period of years 

 he h.id been in business, just what his 

 running expenses were, how eeonoiiiical- 

 ly the business had been run, where the 

 'leaks' were, what his turnover was, 

 and so forth and so on. 



"After two sessions like this, wliich 

 consumed about eight hours altogether, 

 Brown was called to the ])resident's of- 

 fice for the third time. The banker be- 

 gan askijig him some more questions. 

 The strain on his nerves of the other 

 two interviews, the worry about his 

 business and the necessity of some im- 

 mediate casli with which to meet cur- 

 rent bills had brought Brown to a state 

 bordering on liysteria. It had been like 

 pulling teeth for him to go to the presi- 

 dent in the first place and now, with 

 what looked like another session ahead 

 of him, he couldn't control himself any 

 longer. 



"'Say!' he ejaculated. 'How much 

 more of this sort of thing do I have to 

 put u]) with? Do you i)ut everybody 

 through this mill that conies with a sim- 

 ple re()uest about his checking account?' 



"The old l)ank president was a blunt 

 man and didn't hesitate to answer 

 tartly: 'Why, you blank fool!' he said, 

 'I'm' not thinking about your checking 

 account. I'm trying to figure out just 

 how much the biink will have to lend you 

 to tide you over the next couple of 

 years! ' 



"The reason I tell this story is this: 

 There are hundreds of men in this trade 

 just like Brown — men that don't tie up 

 with their bankers and only- go to them 

 when they have to. These fellows seem 

 to tliink that nil a banker has to do is
