Bank Run

Bank week would not be complete without a picture of a good old fashioned bank run. The picture above was taken in 1933 in New York. My Dad was born in 1920, and he never forgot the bank runs of the 1930's, and he used to say you never wanted to be late to a bank run, that he panicked first panicked best. I think he never really trusted banks after the bank failures of the 1930's.
