Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This collection of tales and sketches charmingly glimpses life behind a bank wicket in early twentieth-century Canada. Banking was a much different affair then, demanding hard work and a certain wry humor to endure the day-to-day monotony. The author himself was a banker for a time and so brings a deep insider's perspective to this light-hearted glimpse into a forgotten world. Like many of his colleagues, the author had his hopes and dreams and sometimes found himself in over his head. His witty, self-deprecating stories will resonate with anyone who has ever found themselves caught up in an absurd, yet somehow comical situation. Through it all, the author paints a vivid picture of a bygone era of Canadian banking.
