3 P.M., Saturdays
`` Never mind , gentlemen , we sweep out every night , '' said Amzi . `` Now , let 's all understand each other , '' he continued , tilting his hat over his left ear , and flourishing his cigar . `` It 's all right for you folks to come and get your money . The regular closing time of banks in this town is 3 P.M. , Saturdays included . We 've got a right to close in fifteen minutes . But just to show there 's no hard feeling , I 'm going to change the closing hour to-day from 3 P.M. to 3 A.M. Tomorrow 's Sunday , and you can tell folks that 's got money here that they wo n't have any trouble getting their change in time to put it in the collection basket to-morrow morning . '' A number of depositors , impressed by Amzi 's tranquillity , tore up their checks and left the bank .
