This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ... a more profitable, and at the same time sound investment, for so large a sum as that. Should you, however, allow your 150Z. to remain in the Post Office Savings' Bank, you must send up your book to the head office every year, when the interest due will be added, until the whole amounts to 2001., after which time it will cease to bear interest, but will of course be perfectly safe, though so long as it remains there it will be quite useless to you. When you wish to withdraw money you must go to a Post Office Savings' Bank and ask for a 'notice of withdrawal.' You will have nothing to pay for this, and having filled it up with the amount you wish to withdraw, and signed your name to it, you must fold and post it to ' The Comptroller of the Post Office, Savings' Bank Department, London, ' whose address you will find printed on the paper in such a way that when the latter is properly folded it will look like a letter with a printed address. Yon will have no postage to pay for it, and in a day or two you will receive from London a paper, authorising the postmaster at the office indicated by yourself to pay you the sum you wish to withdraw. All you have to do then is to take your bank book and this paper to the post office in question, sign a receipt, and receive your money, the withdrawal of which will be entered in your book and signed and stamped in the same way as when you made a deposit. You have nothing to pay for your book when it is first supplied to you; but should yon lose it you will have to pay a shilling for a new one. I hope a good many of you will become depositors in the Post Office Savings' Bank. E. H. B. How it should be, and how it should not be. PUT YOURSELF IN HER PLACE. It seems to me that once having decided on domestic service...
