I heard a story that back in the 50s 2 high school kids involved in a fund raiser, for FFA perhaps, stopped at a local business to see if they could make a sale. A sweaty old barefoot shirtless guy with bibs was weeding the flower beds outside the building asked them what they wanted, so they told him what they were doing. When they did, without a word he got into a pocket, pulled out a check, and wrote them out a check for $100. They thanked him and went on into the business. They were laughing and joking to the man at the window in the business office and wondering where that old "bum" got a hold of a check and if there was any chance of it being good. The man asked to look at it and then told them that it had better be good. The man that wrote it was Harvey Jones and he owned the bank the check was written on, not to mention the building they were standing in and dozens more "Jones Truck Line" terminals around the country.
