It is pos sible now for the moot remote cus tomer ol' the local financial lnst'.tntion to make deposit/? In the simplest pos sible way with the convenient, new, and simple combination De.r/osit-Ey Mall envelope. The now system is most simple in Its working. The front of the envelope carries the address of the bank, while on the back flap is provided spare for the name and addresu of the sonde." ur customer. On the left or envelope part of the inside appears a compfetc deposit ticket on which the customer Is to fill out as if he were making rt de posit In the bank. On the inside of the flap are printed In the most clear man ner Instructions for using the system, and an official receipt for the cus tomer to l>e detached by the hank and returned to the customer with a turn envelope for the next deposit. Mr. Sowers states that it makes every ni8.ll bo?: a bendy deposit branch of the bank—open at all hours—with safe, inexpensive anti sure messenger sen-ice always in action.
