| Description | that we’re in the late 1920s in the United States. Times are great. World War I is behind us and we’re in the early days of the “Golden Age of Hollywood.” Jazz music is blossoming. Automobiles are new and novel. As Art Deco style peaks, there’s glitz and glamour sprinkled across the country. What a time to be alive! If only it could stay so grand. All of the opulence associated with the “Roaring Twenties” was bolstered by a booming economy, growing at nearly 3% per year. Since inflation clocked in at 0%, that growth was real. But in 1929, it went sour; the stock market crashed.Investors did not fare well in the crash.

Remember: we’re talking about a pre-deposit insurance time. So what would you do if you thought your money might not be safe with the bank? You’d probably want it back in your own hands.
