Bank Born on Paper and Hot Air in Connecticut
An account recalls a Connecticut town bank started by a former cashier who sought subscriptions with notes due in three six and nine months. The notes funded stock, then government bonds, enabling circulation and eventual dividends. The scheme drew local support as subscribers rolled their surplus into the bank, which grew into a thriving institution. The tale concludes with a Nebraska remark that graft rarely pays in the long run.
