Found On: Humbodlt Craigslist By: K Hedges

This sign is about 12 feet long and once graced the side of the Mckinleyville branch of Humboldt Bank. It’s made out of some sort of plastic.

With the “credit crunch,” the federal government is anxious to get banks up and running. We need lending to oil the delicate mechanism of American capitalism. TARP funds are available, “stress tests” are administered, and the Federal Reserve offers an incredibly low discount rate. With all of this assistance and attention given to the financial sector, there’s no reason you shouldn’t take home a piece of the pie.

Instead of griping about your layoff, get something started. Think big. Be ambitious. I know, you never thought you’d open a bank. You know little about lending (you’re more of a borrower). You have only $430 in your savings account. But the time is right. Tim Geithner wants the Bank of You to open its doors, today. Of course, there will be start-up costs. But you can cut corners here and there, and save big. Little known fact: the most expensive part of opening a bank is signage. Wells Fargo almost failed due to inadequate signs back in the ‘30’s. So call your new bank “Humboldt Bank,” use this sign, and you’ll slash your costs. Better yet, get a partner. Split responsibilities: you bring the sign, she does everything else. Everybody wins.
