That is a great story. I can believe it about the post man delivering eggs and stuff like that and going to the bank for someone. What a different world we live in. I remember going to Sterling’s and my grandpa asking for a counter check. no account number, no name or anything on the check and writing a check to Sterling’s with no ID needed and then processed without any problems at the jonesboro Mercantile Bank.
And Saturday was going to town day and you got dressed up for that. Also, used to get dressed up to go on planes.
I remember my Dad taking me to the bank with him. It was quiest and fancy. He had all of his 4 children our own saving account. I would take in 25 and sometime 25 or 37 cents and make my own deposit. They were polite and I felt grown-up and important. And it taught me to save. One of the best lessons I ever learned. Has kept me out of debt and able to have what I need and a chance for retirement without depending on .gov. I love him to this day for that. I still have my little saving account book and it is fun to look at all those small deposits.
