Pickpockets reap their harvest from money carriers.
The burglar may steal or fire may destroy money left in the house.
A bank, if not near one then a safe, is the best place for money, though safes have been broken into and robbed.
Do not make a display of money at any time, but particularly in a public place.
If you are drawing money from a bank, count it quickly and quietly, then secure it in an inside pocket that cannot be reached without unbuttoning.
Never cash a check for a man whom you do not know to be square.
The same applies to the endorsement of checks.
IN TRAVELLING
Always be courteous in travelling, but never take the chance acquaintance of the steamboat or car into your confidence.
Keep an eye on the man who "fortunately is going just your way."
