Also, I am convinced that my experience in a Canadian Bank was but mildly exciting as compared with that of many others.My object in publishing ";Evan Nelson's"; history is to enlighten the public concerning life behind the wicket and thus pave the way for the legitimate organization of bankclerks into a fraternal association, for their financial and social (including moral) betterment.Bank officials, I trust, will see to it that my misrepresentations are exposed.To mothers of bankclerks who attach overmuch importance to the gentility of their Boy's avocation; to fathers who think that because the bank is rich its employees must necessarily become so in time; to friends who criticize the bankclerks of their acquaintance for not settling down--this story is addressed.To the men of our banks who are dissatisfied with the business they have chosen, or someone else has chosen for them; to Old Country clerks who come out to Canada under the impression that Five Dollars is as good as One Pound; to bank employees in the United States, and to office men everywhere--I am telling my tale.Finally, I appeal to ";the girls we have known."; Be sure you study the subject thoroughly before accusing that inscrutable, proud and procrastinating clerk of yours of inconstancy.(From the Prologue)Toronto reprint library of Canadian prose and poetry.Bank employeesFictionCanadaFictionElectronic books.Bank employees813/.5/2Preston Jack1888-967192Lochhead Douglas, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460696603321A Canadian bankclerk2195688UNINA
