The county I live in is split geographically, with the southern half being flat to gently rolling highly productive farmland, and the northern half being more hilly and wooded, with less productive land. The southern part was home to large plantations growing a variety of crops, while the north farms were much smaller, with tobacco being the main crop. Consequently, the southern half farmers and landowners always looked down upon their northern neighbors, considering themselves to be "better". Historically though, the people in the northern part of the county were usually more financially stable.
So to my story, and a true one it is. A large farmer from the south part of the county was in a bank trying to line up his operating loan for the upcoming year. While he was talking to the banker, in walked a man wearing bib overalls and a tattered coat. The farmer told the banker that he was glad he didn't have to go around dressed like that. The banker then told the client, that the man was a farmer from the north part of the county, and it was his money that he had deposited in the bank, that the client was trying to borrow.
