NINE TENTHS BY CHECK.
It has been estimated that nine tenths of the
business of the world is done by check. This is
conclusive evidence of the wisdom of depositing
money with a sound financial institution and meet
ing obligations by means of ihe checking plan
simply writing checks instead of keeping a supply
of currency on hand. It is safe, systematic, and
assures economy.
