It may never have happened to you?yet your next check I may be raised. It is next to impossible to write a check that is safe, unless protected with a modern device. Remember?that in these days, every class of cirme is con stantly increasing and an unprotected check is a dangerous asset. No matter to whom you give your check it is not safe for it may be transferred to another party or stolen from the mail or get into the hands of a dishonest employee, who by using a few drops of acid or by clever pen changing can make over your check so that you would scarcely know it Do you know that your signature represents every dollar that you are worth? Is it not worth a few dollaTs of your money to protect it? Don't put this matter off anather day?but write for inter esting literature on check protection. It does not obligate you at all. A post card will do. We can supply you with any standard make of check writer or protecting device for half price or less. An attractive proposition offered to live wire local salesmen.
