How to Send Money Home Safely

Daily Jewish Courier, Nov. 2, 1911

This is a charity notice to the Jewish people of Chicago. Anyone wishing to send Hanukah Gelt [The custom during Hanukah of giving money and gifts to children, friends, and relatives] to their dear ones in Europe is advised to get in touch with the Security Bank on Milwaukee Avenue. You can rest assured that the money which you send to your folks at home will be safely delivered through the Security Bank.

Any additional information which you may wish to obtain regarding the Hanukah Gelt gift you plan to send to any European country may be obtained by writing to us or by visiting the Bank. We shall take great pleasure in explaining how our "draft system" operates and how we send your Hanukah Gelt to your dear ones.
