OFFICE RULES.
I. Gentlemen entering this Office will please leave the door wide open.
II. Those having no business will please call often, remain as long as possible, take a chair, make themselves comfortable, and gossip with the Clerks.
III. Gentlemen are requested to smoke, and expectorate on the floor, especially during Office Hours; Cigars and Newspapers supplied.
IV. The Money in this Office is not intended for business purposes—by no means—it is solely to lend. Please note this.
V. A Supply of Cash is always provided to Cash Cheques for all comers, and relieve Bank Clerks of their legitimate duties. Stamped cheque forms given gratis.
VI. Talk loud and whistle, especially when we are engaged; if this has not the desired effect, sing.
VII. The Clerks receive visits from their friends and their relatives; please don’t interrupt them with business matters when so engaged.
VIII. Gentlemen will please examine our letters, and jot down the Names and Addresses of our Customers, particularly if they are in the same profession.
IX. As we are always glad to see old friends, it will be particularly refreshing to receive visits and renewal of orders from any former Customer who has passed through the Bankruptcy Court, and paid us not more than Sixpence in the Pound. A Warm welcome may be relied on.
