May 28, 2009 Welcome to the May edition of the Diebold Media Tip Sheet 150th anniversary: Diebold safeguards customers during Great Depression
 No one man so personified the Gangland Era as did a dapper-dressed, gun-toting, bank-robbing, wise-cracking ladies man from Indianapolis, Ind. He was John Dillinger, the notorious leader of the murderous Dillinger Gang and the first man ever labeled by federal law enforcement as “Public Enemy No. 1.” In a career that lasted barely 13 months, his gang had killed 10 men, wounded seven others, robbed numerous banks, raided police arsenals and staged three jailbreaks. Diebold knew Dillinger’s reputation well. Our salespeople would actually mention him by name, cite his exploits and detail the threat he and his gang posed to the nation’s financial security. Bankers were understandably fearful and perplexed. What could they do to safeguard their institutions and their customers? Diebold had an answer.
In partnership with the Lake Erie Chemical Company, Diebold devised a system whereby strategically placed teargas canisters could be set off, enveloping bank lobbies in clouds of the disabling agent.
We reported brisk sales of the teargas system throughout five Midwestern states in the early 1930s. To learn more about Diebold during the Great Depression, read the recently posted stories titled “Rat-ta-tat-tat: The Gangland Era” and “The Great Depression”under “The Great Depression” section of the feature stories page on Diebold’s 150th anniversary Web site.
