One wouldn’t normally need to travel all the way to the Emerald City to inquire about a home loan. But then again, this Wizard of Oz homage is no normal ad for British banker Halifax.

She’s too young for him to help her finance a house—which is unfortunate, given what happened to Auntie Em’s place—but he can help her make her way home.
