A certificate of deposit is an interest bearing order on the bank
for money. This order is made to mature at a stated time and affords
an excellent opportunity to invest idle money for a short time. You
can sell a certificate of deposit but you cannot lose the money it repre
sents. When it is issued, a record is made and carried in the bank,
so that no one except the proper owner can draw its equivalent in
cash. If the certificate is lost or stolen, a duplicate will be furnished
upon proper proof of loss. This bank issues certificates of deposits
upon which we pay 4 interest.

husband was drunk Suuday she
sewed him up between two blank

bit severe, but if all women were
to display half her intolerance the
anti-saloon league would vol
untarily go out of business.
A few years ago it was almost an
unheard of thing for a reward to be
offered for a criminal. Now, how
ever, a crime is no sooner committed
than there is a bounty offered for
the perpetrator.
