Did it ever occur to you why all good business
men kept a checking account with a bank!
We'll tell You. It enables them to keep their
funds in a more secure place than the office
safe. It gives them a better standing in the
business world. It enables them to pay their
bills by check, the returned check being an
undisputable receipt.
Individuals find a checking account very
convenient and a source of saving. Money in
one's pocket is often spent on the spur of the
moment, while one is disposed to think twice
before drawing a check. GET THE SAVINGS
