AMF was (still is?) owned by Armored Transport, which owned United Currier. So the bank runs were in house business.
A small bit of trivia. The only two companys that I ever worked for in 23 years, that are still in business, are my current employer and Ameriflight.
And we haven't furloughed in 40 years.
