Remember this well. Late 1960's and early 1970's. We would all line up in a queue as per the photo. I had a grey Commonwealth Bank deposit book. It sat inside a plastic cover with a metal push down clasp on the front. I would place my 20c on the teacher's desk and she would stamp my pass book. At the end of the year we would all receive a plastic Jumbo elephant money box and a sticker that said, 'Get with the strength... Bank Commonwealth'.
I ran this by my wife and she said she did exactly the same thing at her school. Now 55 years later we both still bank with the Commonwealth. Guess we are both either staunchly loyal or very slow learners!
