Mason
         
         The
         idea of a Mason bank might strike some as odd, but when this
         bank was issued, bricklaying was an activity that you saw
         all the time. This colorful card, with a lot of strong red,
         is seldom encountered today. 
         
         The Mason
         card was printed by G. H. Dunston Lith. of Buffalo, New
         York, and issued in 1887. It's shown here at 85 percent of
         actual size. 
         
         The
         coloring, lettering, layout, wording and size of this card
         are similar to the Picture
         Gallery
         card, which is the other bank card printed by
         Dunston.
