Mail order houses always want NEW YORK drafts. They are better than monuy to them as their banks will issue them drafts free to an amount equal to the New York drafts they deposit. The reasou some houses do not want drafts is that many banks write them a draft on some other city than New York and it costs them to collect it. There is no charge anywhere on a New York draft and we alwas issue them when the money is to go out of the state. They are cheaper than any other way of sending money. They cost. I 'ink r $3.00, 3c.
