1959 - MIDLAND BANK - How to open an account

My grandmother had a clear out and gave me this. It has some brilliant stuff in it. Have a read...








Readers by now will have noted that "A banking account is not something for rich people only"



"Even the smallest requirement receives prompt and courteous attention" - how times have changed. Computer says no...





"Banking hours are normally from 10am to 3pm"

If you want to open an account: "Go in and tell one of the men [Note:men only!] you wish to open an account. You will then be introduced to the Manager"



"Every cheque must bear a twopenny Inland Revenue stamp, and the bank has to collect this duty from you by charging your account with the cost of the stamps when you obtain each new book"






"People who possess special skills of their own readily appreciate the expert efficiency of the service The Midland Bank provides"
























I wish I had the 'explanatory leaflets' mentioned on the last page that detail how The Midland Bank is "For young men considering their careers" & "For girls seeking a worthwhile job"!
