The Value
of a Bank Check
The bank check is more serviceable
than currency and just as good as gold
or silver. The canceled check is a re
ceipt for bills paid.
The man or woman who can write
checks on a bank balance enhances his
or her credit.
A bank check, if lost, can be cashed
by no other person than the payee with
out a forgery of the signature. The bank
check protects you in all of your finan
cial transactions.
Pay your obligations by check. Use
your bank to the fullest measure and give
it credit for the service it renders you and
your community.

ance remained at the show room for
more than an hour, they had to de
part for their homes without seeing
the remainder of the snow, still
their mission was not in vain, for
when the "great white way", which
they claim the company had promised
