Ever heard of a stocking room? There was a time in the early 1900's when women did not feel comfortable entering the very masculine environment of banks, and even avoided having bank accounts. Some women tucked their money and valuables in their stockings instead, under their floor length skirts. In order to gain these women for their customers, banks came up with the Stocking Room - a Women's Department. This was a safe haven where ladies could remove their cash and do their banking without the distraction of men, cigars and spittoons.
