If depositors should come to fear that a ba
11、nk is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its .depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts.

13、a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside.
